Vina Byrne Poetry

Life is just the way it is, most things you cannot alter, 

But always try to do your best to cope and not to falter.

You must do your very best to try to understand

And only change the things you can, take other things in hand.

For it never pays to bemoan your fate when things don't turn out right,

Accept the things you cannot change, try hard with all your might.

You'll find that you're much better off than crying every day,

Just stand your ground, be firm, be strong,

And take what comes your way.
