Analysis of Keep going

E.S. Conway 1985 (United Kingdom)



Life often has its hardships,
It can be difficult, that's true.
But when you stop and really think,
There's only one thing you can do.

Keep on moving forward,
One moment to the next,
Forget what you can't change in life,
Live with no regrets.

Take each moment as it comes,
Do the best that you can do,
You've won at life so far it seems,
So just keep on being you.

This is also the reason for so much rhyming; though not necessary for poetry, it was part of what made poetry therapeutic for her and so is an almost certain constant. more…
