Life is full of ups and downs, its about happy and bumpy rides.

Let's make sure we have it under control to make it through the tides.

It may not always be the best way but together we will make it through.

Love is beautiful when you have family, friends and find love so true.

~ Laura Clinton

I enjoy this poem by Laura Clinton because it describes life and addresses struggles directly. Clinton is trying to tell us that perseverance is key to success, and I agree. We often feel like giving up when faced with a problem, and Laura is telling us not to. She is giving us the solution to our conflicts: family, friends, and love.
