No one ever told us that life was always fair
It’s not the good and worthy who get the lion’s share.
Some are blessed with happiness and others may have wealth.
Some are cursed with illness and others have good health.
I have seen the best of folk struck down with foul disease
While lots of undesirables appear to live at ease!
I have seen happy people who seem to live on crumbs
And the rich and famous who haven’t any chums!
It matters not the fairness of whatever may transpire
It is our hearts contentment we ought to desire.
To make the best of what you have and not to envy others;
To be at peace with all the world and treat all men as brothers;
To share with those around you a smile or kindly word;
To chuckle at life’s problems as if they are absurd;
To know that in this earthly walk you are not alone.
There’s someone you can talk to and you will not need a phone!
My God is my companion, my soul mate and my friend
And he will be with me until I reach my end!
So whether things are fair, or not, they are just part of life
And, if we can accept them, it causes us less strife!
