Getting Along With Your Life Poem by Francie Lynch

When setbacks happen,
I get on with life.
If I didn't make the cut,
I moved on;
Sometimes continuing along the same path,
With renewed determination;
Or, find a road less travelled.

'I crossed the parquet tiles,
Before a thousand eyes;
She gave a polite rejection,
Her friend took great exception,
Before taking my hand in her's.'

There were numerous interviews,
When we two weren't the right fit.
I would move on,
Finally finding my hand and your glove were one.
There is no options, but to move on.

Then we got on.

Then she got on.

Then I got on...

'Get on with your life'

Not the same as getting along with your life.
