All things pass... Patience attains all it strives for. -Mother Teresa
CERTAINITIES
Its certain the rain will always fall down
The earth is not flat, we know it is round
A rolling stone, will not gather moss
Politicians will lie and always emboss
If you wash your car, you know it will rain
Your paycheck is chocking, the taxes a drain
Whatever goes down, cannot float back up
Chocolates and sweets, can make pimples erupt
You get in the shower, the telephone rings
A scam for donations? ITS NOT HAPPENING!!!!
Your late for work, and traffic a mess
Why bother to get up, why bother to dress?
You've raked your lawn clean, not a leaf on the ground
The wind does its dance, and blows the rest down
You hit the mall, to catch a great sale
Comes home with a raincheck, it never fails
Got plans to relax by the tube for a bit
A thunderstorm roars, your cable is hit
All of these episodes that cause us to frown
Piss off and annoy us, taunt and confound
Push a good mood from neutral, then into a frown
Turn the best of our plans, inside out, upside down!
But these are trivialities...the world still spins round !
And life can be awsome, so just stick around!!!!
