Where are those hard times

It may have started when Eve took that first bite

And blood started to flow through those veins, and now all they could feel is the pain.

But now it’s all about who will rule the night

And in the cage, who rules that fight.

For some it’s about getting the cylinders running

But for others it’s the running that’s hard, or even being stuck in the bar.

Or the worker who can never be done and

When he gets to the house the work has only begun.

It’s where the wife and kids are stuck at home

Doing chores and school work, while the mommy was thinking staying home was the perk.

Now the hardest time for the kids is in her kingdom,

But even harder when their father is home to roam.

It can be the moment on stage for that rapper trying to rhyme

Or time wasted by a betrayer, his best friend telling him that it can only get better.

But he’s thinking that he is losing his reign

And his hardest time is getting back in the game.

Will it be when her daddy is walking her down that isle,

Or when your daddy is holding to your bike seat, while you peddling down your street?

It can be that tragedy holding back your smile,

But life is most definitely about that trial!

So don’t back down to the challenge, step up.

Grow some and walk with your back tall, holding up your fist saying, “I rule you all!”

But be humble in success and raise your cup,

There is only one man to thank when you’re looking up.
