Nothing Wrong
By John Herlihy

There is nothing wrong
With losing your way, then finding it again.
There is nothing wrong
With feeling fruitful, then feeling sometimes barren.
There is nothing wrong
With keeping a secret, never to tell a lie.
There is nothing wrong
With giving in to sorrow, then wanting to cry.
There is nothing wrong
Feeling like a squirrel gathering nuts aplenty.
There is nothing wrong
With having our hands or pockets empty.
There is nothing wrong
With enjoying the fruits of what we have wrought.
There is nothing wrong
With wishing to have all that we sought.
There is nothing wrong
With singing your own song.
There is nothing wrong
With forgiveness if you repent of your wrong.
There is nothing wrong
With keeping to yourself because you are shy.
There is nothing wrong
With holding back, if you know the reason why.
There is nothing wrong
With being impatient, if you really care.
There is nothing wrong
with today’s world, or is there?
