Fight Back!

Life will throw you,
hit you,
burn you,
take things you never thought possible
and when the dust clears
it will just chuckle
with a grin so wide
it will make your gut turn,
fight back,
with bloody knuckles
cracked ribs,
and a brused face
you must push through the sorrow
cut past the pain
and drive into tomorrw
so when life throws its next curve
you can chuckle back
with a grin
so wide,
that life itself will yield.
