FOR THE RICH PAUPER

When your life is hard
And your hard work’s luck seems bad
Know
…you’re a soul to glow

II
When your mates live easy
And your best’s world seems messy
Know
…you’re the one to glow

III
When you trip where others fly
And you fall where others stand tall
Know
…your stage will call

IV
In a happy sad world
And a painful sweet world
In a win lose world
And a broken love world
The worst rises after many a fall
So know
…your fate will call at a time your falls scream low
So rise and dust and stand till you thrive from every fall
Which makes you kowtow
