A drawing man will grab at a straw



My mom Once told me a drowning man will grab at a straw.
When things seem hopeless you feel there's no way out.
Please keep fighting while holding your head up high  that's what life is all about.

Sometime you feel like you're sinking and so long too fast.
Never ever give up on the race eventhought you may come in last.
You should never stop reaching never ever give up on hope Then i realize that someone is helping you  fight.
You will suddenly realize every thing will be alright.

Although you continue reaching and it may seems too ver.
 
You're not the only one grabbing at that lone floating straw.
