Have a great month!

“A Handshake Away”

‏Everybody saying nope,
The world provides a way to cope.
Then you get a ray of hope,
Gotta keep swinging can’t stay on ropes
Have to learn how to play the slopes.

One can go from soar to shock,
One day you’re on top then doors are locked.
Then you’re stuck hustling betting friends,
You knock, but no one lets you in.

You’ll see many worries and woes,
That’s just how the story goes.
Stay encouraged even though the land quakes today,
Just as the tag hero is the crown of brave men, pound the pavement you’re a handshake away.
