j l price - Press On

When things around you seem to go wrong
Your spirit is weakened, and you’re not (so) strong
Through personal and or family situations
Through issues with jobs or other temptations

In your mind you have just lost your way
Wondering if you’ll make it thru the day
Continue to strive to reach your own goals
And be strong and persistent as life unfolds

It’s too bad that things are not always calm
Can’t always have the easy life, without any harm
Every day is a challenge although it may seem
That others around you are living their dream

We should be thankful for just where we are
With all we’ve been through we’ve come so far
So continue to press on; to smile and then reflect
It prepares you even more for what will come next
