Life doesn’t always go your way
Those pesky gremlins love to play
Upsetting apple carts galore;
If you show nerves, they do it more!
Life isn’t one long peaceful ride:
Troubles queue to get inside
Our would-be tidy lives and riot;
No good screaming out: “Be quiet!”
They plumb our weakness, pierce our shell
Just when things are going well;
When we’re bothered, feeling stressed
That’s the moment they love best.
Far be it from me to complain
As all of us, at times, feel strain
But you have to wonder why
Annoying clouds block out our sky.
Our path with obstacles is strewn
We see the dark side of the moon;
It’s hard to learn that life means risks;
Thank God the light, though faint, persists…
