In my life I've had many ups and downs,
times for smiles and times for frowns.
Sometimes I am like a broken record,
stuck in one place and sounding absurd.
But I move on and survive the battle,
I get back on the horse and grip the saddle.
I am sheltered in all that I do,
Some days I want to break through.
I have learned to depend on myself alone,
and I've done well enough so far on my own.
I am strong and have pushed through it all.
I get back on my feet when I fall.
My life, to me, is a success story,
and I am blessed to live with such glory.
Sometimes it doesn't seem real, like I have gone numb;
but as I look back on my 'legacy,' I realize that the best has yet to come.
