Notes About The Poem

For Edward Ibeh's 'Pick-A-Title, Vol 46 - ' Poetry Contest

__________________________________________________________________________

In The Realm of Silver Linings

In The Realm of Silver Linings,
you never will find rust,
and never will you ever
see things turn to dust.

Bees may sting, but in this realm,
a bee’s sting does not hurt.
The sweetest honey flows instead.
Baklava will be dessert.

In the Realm of Silver Linings,
should you break a bone,
by nightfall you are healed.
No one has been heard to groan.

Illness rarely finds you there.
Even if it should -
recovery comes as easily 
as simply knocking wood.

In the Realm of Silver Linings
lemons don’t need to be sour,
and needful rainfall only comes
lightly like a shower.

You may think such a place 
as this cannot exist,
but those with faithful hearts
by good luck there are kissed.

In the Realm of Silver Linings
live those who learned to cope
with trials previously given
but who all the while kept their hope!

Andrea, it's beautifully written. I always say...Every silver lining has a cloud. However, we can go thru life with a good attitude and experience a happy life despite all the negatives. You have me thinking what would it be like if there were no grief or bad feelings at all. We certainly would not be human.
