Life’s troubles

Life is one that's up and down,

Thrashing wildly , tries not to drown.

All our troubles though we can see,

Come in multiples of three.

Life is not all plain sailing,

Thrashing wildly, but not failing.

All our tomorrows seem far away,

When troubles multiply every day.

Life that's not all warm and rosy,

Thrashing wildly, tries keeping cosy.

All our futures are yet unknown,

When falling our resolve has grown.
