Life Ain't For Sissies

Life Ain't For Sissies

Life sure ain't for sissies

It takes a strong and a willing heart

To conquer the everyday problems

Greeting us with a smile is an art

It's easy to give in to doom and gloom

To grumble and always complain

But no one's gonna help make it better

You're the one who's holding the reins

Here's what I learned a long while ago

If you greet everyone with a smile

Chances are they'll smile right back

You've made someone happy for a while

But listen to this, there's a residual effect

You've raised your spirits as well

You'll go around with song in your heart

You'll be ringing the happiness bell

So the end result of all of this chatter

You control how your day will turn out

Happy as a lark or filled with despair

The choice is what life's all about!

Slowing Down

My gait is much slower
My memory's shot
The hair on my beano
Is thinning a lot...

Don't Look Down

Don't Look Down

Fuck these suppressed urges
that currently
seek to dominate me

Straining to break...
