Making the Best of It
We wish for a fair day,
but -
we wish for fair play, but -
we plan for the positive,
but end in the negative.
The routes we take
the paths we make
strewn with obstacles
to be circumvented.
Unanticipated surprises
unexpected capsizes
may thwart our efforts
sink, abort our spurt.
A 'down' day - today,
be resilient, perk-up -
tomorrow, a fresh day
a chance to makeup, catch-up
making the best of it you can.
