At Any Given Time

                                     While happiness is granted,
                             and those dreams seem so sublime,
                                         lifes saddened storms
                                           can rear their heads
                                              at any given time.

                                             At any given time,
                                         to faith you can resort.
                                         But cast out the fears
                                          and live better years....
                                      as your given time is short.

                                              At any given time,
                                     If adversity blocks the way....
                                         will your courage roar
                                              as fierce lions,or...
                                      be marred by days of gray?

                                  It is no matter what the answer,
                                 for without reason or any rhyme,
                                          tragic times will shake
                                           the bold heart of man,
                                               at any given time.

the only correction I can make is the upper cae Y in your I'm sure it was done to emphasise the word but it is not needed perhaps adding a bit more push to the sentence or not using your as much such as to faith you can resort the sentence still remains the same and does not suffer the loss of the word your when adversity might work better than if but cast out all fears , here the word all is substituted for your what if you tries rearranging the sentence to read It matters not the answer I feel the word any in the next line is not needed as always mere suggestions is what I am offering believe me James this was moderate commenting lol I really do like this poem and the use of at any given time Chrys
