Life Goes On

If I could hang a motto in every home in all the world,
A motto that when pondered would make life’s mysteries unfurl,
There’s one motto I always quote, of which I have grown fond.
When people whine or complain, I’d say, “Remember, life goes on.”
I believe this motto’s the best, for more reasons than one.
If you remembered this motto, I bet your life would be more fun.
It has kept me cheerful, when my life has seemed real blue,
And allowed many laughs to surface, and smiles not a few.
It will keep your determination high, and goals come anew.
Besides, doctors always say that depression isn’t good for you.
They say that it feeds any diseases that you may possess,
And creates new ones, your strength gets less and less.
You try and fix your problems with shots or maybe pills,
Hoping that you will rediscover some of your previous thrills.
Maybe it’s the food you eat or perhaps polluted air,
But don’t you see, all those commercials have made you unaware.
It’s always in your attitude, in how you view your life,
And how you take the struggles and handle all the strife.
You need to make yourself happy, it might take quite a con,
But no matter what, when things go wrong say,
“Remember, life goes on!”
