Analysis of Life's Shadow



Life has its shadows  as well as its sun
Its light and its shades, all twined
                      together.
I tried to single them out,one by one
                   single and count them
      deterning whether there was less blue than
                     there was grey,
And more of the deep night than of the  
                            day.

Life can't be changed  by kissing  a
                    toad
Instead we must  weigh the odds
about  every decision we make
We worry we'll make the wrong
                  Choice.
And not know  which way to take
Although  life's  road may have
           many crossroads.
We just have to trust  in God and instinct.
Life may be a constant question
                   mark.
But if you listen you may hear
                  Yourself.
You are the one  who knows you
and the God given gifts that inspire you
No matter the fear or the conflict
If u listen,life will fit like a shoe.
