Just Keep on Trying (sonnet)

Life's a race where there are no clear winners,
Life's a test, but no one has the answer.
There are no experts, only beginners.
Nobody knows why small kids get cancer.
Life's a game that sometimes has no real rules.
Life's a journey that doesn't have an end.
The players in this act all seem like fools,
You're lucky if in life you find a friend.
Life's a gamble where you don't know the odds.
Life is a road for which there is no map.
Sometimes there aren't even clues from God,
And it seems like life is just a mishap.
Whatever you do, don't think of leaving.
Just keep on trying and keep on breathing.
