Disappointments abound
That's just part of life
It promises joy
Then stabs in the knife

It takes pleasure in pain
And laughs as you cry
When you think it's 'Hello'
It could be 'Goodbye'

A perverse sense of humor
A sick, twisted mind
It rarely allows
You to keep what you find

So when you find joy
Make sure to hold tight
In thwarting Life's pains
Be sure to delight

Find joy where you can
And put up a fight
When Life tries to take it
Use all of your might

There's sorrow enough
Without giving in
Hold on to what's yours
And don't let Life win!
