LIFE

Life is a lottery, some win, some lose.
Some take to drugs, some take to booze.
Some sail through life, with no problems at all
Some are like horses, in the Grand National,
They take a huge fall.
Some break bones, some have their hearts broken.
Some are destroyed, just by words spoken.
Some loose the will, to carry on and fight.
For all they see is darkness, no light.
Some get back up, despite great knocks,
Some don't, so they end up in a box.
