LIFE  CAN BE

by Richard Maxfield
3-1-99

Life can beat you up, it can push you down
you can feel like a king or just a clown
it can take you to the top or far below
it can zoom by fast or painfully slow
life can be cruel, life can be kind
can be full of hate, or love you can find
life can spin you around or make you stop
you can be a success, or just a flop
life can be fresh, or life can be stale
life can heaven or life can be hell
life can be sour ,life can be sweet
it can bruise your head or soothe  your feet  
life can be happy or life can be sad
it can make you angry, or make you glad
you can set and watch as life passes by
or you can get up and run and learn to fly
if life gives you nothing but showers
with some care you can grow flowers
most of all, life is what you make
whether you give, or you take
