56. LIFE MAY BE HARD
Don’t stop and scream at the pebble that made you fall
If you can’t get up, at least crawl.
You gotta move forward
And never be cornered
By the thoughts that created in invisible border.
Life is hard.
Life may leave some scars,
But never be afraid
Of what lies ahead
You can get through,
You just need some faith.
And the belief that everything works out for the best.

57. LIFE MAY BE HARD
When life gets you down, you gotta bounce back up.
No matter how hard, you have to get up.
Life maybe hard,
But it can also be fun.
Explore different paths
And hold up your flag.
The flag is the symbol that you’ve made it far.
EVERY DAY IS A BLESSING
