Crash Course

Your life is going as usual,
Nothing new to cramp your style---
Then something happens to shake you,
To put in  your "Life Event" file.

It may be something good--
But usually it's not,
You struggle and you research,
And you're still at a loss.

This happens at least once to everyone,
And regretfully sometimes more--
What's known as life
Has come knocking at your door.

You can't avoid it--
No matter how hard you try,
It has to be dealt with,
Or the problem grows bigger as time goes by.

Your friends and your family
Are your support group.
Don't let your reactions push them away--
Keep your hope alive, don't let it droop.

Some call this
 "Baptism by fire"
Or "learning the hard way"
When you're mired down in the quagmire.

There is usually a resolution--
If not, live with it day to day,
It becomes a part of your life,
Now you live in your new, but usual way.
