Life at Its Best

Stuck in a loop,

Lost and afraid.

Mind wondering off,

To how many more days..

I have so many issues,

That I just can't tell.

So many loved ones,

I can't put through hell.

My heart yearns to tell them,

My mind pulls away.

I embrace in their love,

More, each and every day..

I know my time is short,

I don't know exactly how long.

I wasn't given a date,

But I do know I can remain strong.

If there's one thing my mother taught me,

It's never to back down.

When something knocks you over,

Get back up off the ground.

So in the end I'll be grateful,

For all the time I have had.

For my life spent here with my family,

And all the puppies that we have had.
