Missing Out
I heard I missed a lovely day –
It had been planned for weeks –
But life is filled with ups and downs;
We can’t reach all the peaks.
The unexpected sometimes
Interferes with our intent,
Preventing our participation
In a set event.
The thing to do is shrug it off;
It wasn’t meant to be,
Though disappointment is
To be expected, guarantee.
There will be other happy times
In which we’ll play a part,
For only on occasion
Do we tip the apple cart.
