I know storms of life blow
Forcing many a man to kowtow
Slapping many an esteem to feel low
But no matter how well stormy hurdles act foe
Sue the tides in the court of determination
II
I know life can roast hearts on meshes of messes
Even as breath blesses
I know minds then wear giving-up dresses
As death entices with fine flexes
But no matter how hard these storms act to push up stresses
Sue the tides in the court of determination
III
For life is a kneel and a feel
For life is a have and a laugh
For life is a bout and a shout
Life is a mound and a hound
Still life is a happiness for a time
…needing its full to be felt
So when the tides go high, let yourself fly the fall
…to win in the court of determination
