Life As I Know It Poem by Mary Roach

Oh how I feel the wind tonight
Blowing through my hair
No longer waiting for the fight
For the burden I can’t bare

I wish, my thoughts I could share
And somehow soon I may
Though doing that might not be fair
I will wait for another day

I keep my focus in every way
Though it’s hard and slows me down
And my will I shall obey
Up to my neck, I feel I might drown

Stress has a way of keeping me down
Even though I try to fight Him
I wish a smile could come out of this frown
But my feelings I can’t deny them

To this life I am condemned
Still I shall live it as best I can
And to My life I will defend
For my life is Gods plan
