To Be Or Not To Be. Poem by Ross Mabey

.Poem - To Be or Not To Be.

By - Ross Mabey.

Shakespeare's Hamlet faced the tests,
That life often puts in our way.
Will we look them in the eye,
Or will, we hope they'll go away?

Eventually, we will have to face them,
They are the lessons, life is trying to teach us.
To be stronger and have more compassion,
Not to grind us into life's dust.

Of course there are debts to be paid,
From our past mistakes.
Also, life can be generous,
For what we have done,
With no expectation of reward.

So like Shakespeare's, Hamlet,
Will we face life's tests.
To be, would be the answer,
Then look to the God,
When life's test cause us, too much stress.
