This Too Shall Pass

When the road is rough, when life is rougher,
When everything has gone awry,
A little grin, a lifted chin
Helps some, my dear, helps some.
When life is harsh, beset with pain,
When all the world's gone down the drain,
Remember these words, take heart again,
"This too shall pass."
No one's said life's easy.
Go pick up the pieces,
Then forge ahead with lifted clearer head,
You can be better than before.
Each obstacle's a stepping stone,
Every frustration but a door
That can lead to a life much fuller
Than has been heretofore.
