The ups the downs and inbetweens

All started from my  early teens.

The life I've lived is a story to tell

Some so beautiful and some felt like hell.

 

I do not dwell on my hell 

Instead I admire my feet.

 

Optimistic and persistent

I stride with pride

in the knowing' I'm growing

No pain showing 

My real strength glowing.

 

To bury both parents before thirty four

Most expected me to remain on the floor

instead I found my feet.
