One Day At A Time

One Day At A Time
 
I’m still alive
Though not intact
I strive and strive
To stay on track

I try, I fail
I try again
I need to heal
It never ends

The coarse was set
With little wind
My sails a net
It’s hard to win

LIke a tattoo
One stain at a time
What I’ve accrued
Is pain in my prime

I work what I got
With smiles and grins
I want to give up
But fight giving in

So on I’ll go
One day at a time
I’ll go on to
Life’s finish line
