An Inspirational and Uplifting Poem EVERY DAY from Simon J. Halliday!

When Things Go Wrong

When things go wrong, as they can do
Don't fight too hard to find the clue
It might be something else to blame
But start your search within, with you

The world spins on, not much has changed
Of course life's gifts are rearranged
Yet basic truths will never die
And likewise, neither you nor I

So have some faith that all is well
Although we know that time will tell
Some shocks, surprises perhaps in store
Despite disguises, life gives more

Go onwards, upwards, never stop
It's never too busy at the top
For billions searching down below
Are looking upwards at the show

It's quite a scene, there's much to see
It's not quite everyone's cup of tea
But some will wonder if there's more
And what their life might have in store

These souls will rise, they'll not know why
Yet something draws them to the sky
And way beyond, where stars are born
A peaceful haven from life's scorn

There isn't a chance, with faith and hope
Your mission could fail - you know you'll cope
Whatever life throws, however things fall
When things go wrong, stay standing tall
