Keep Getting Back Up

So many times
I have been knocked down
Knocked down by
Good things and not so good things
Sometimes, it was hard for me
To find the way
To get back up, again
But I did, everytime
Everytime I got back up
I was changed
I was changed
To see what had knocked me down
And not let it knock me down, again
But there are still times
When some of the same old things
Bring me to my knees
For those things
I find it easier to get back up
I have learned the patterns
And evaluated the importance
I find the strength
How?
Through prayer,
Listening to preaching,
Sharing my heart with others
And learning the new combination
To the various locks set before me
I am not weak, and I'm no fool
I will never give up
I will always
Get back up!

World of Nerf

If this world were made of Nerf
I could jump all over the place.
I could jump out a window on my second floor
And land without a scratch.
If this world were made of Nerf
I could kick a Nerf tree
And not scratch my toes.
I could run barefoot all over and not worry
That my feet are going to get torn up.
If this world were made of Nerf
The ground would be orange.
Would that change the color of the sky?
We could use wet wipes to clean dirty spots
In our yard.
If this world were made of Nerf
I'd have to fill a swimming pool
With jello and bounce in off the top
Of my house.
If this world were made of Nerf
Kids would play outdoors
Much more.
If this world were made of Nerf
The dude who invented it
Would be the president.
I love Nerf.
