He was always struggling in life.
He struggled in school every day.
He struggled to stay at university.
Life was always a struggle for him.
Nothing came easy for him in life.
It all changed when he married,
And found a loving, caring wife.
She loved him just the way he was,
She comforted him when he was down.
She was a best friend and a soulmate,
Their love and family lifted him up.
He was always a better man with her,
He knew that she would never disappear.
As a writer he was not a success.
He tried to write that bestseller to no avail.
Eventually, his better judgment did prevail.
It was like collecting grains of sand,
Every grain slipped out of his hand.
He gave up his desire to write anything,
He decided to take up a guitar and sing.
It was his gift and he took his wife dancing.
