Wilma Neels Poet Free verse

'Rainbows and Silver Linings'

There were times
when she only believed in rainbows
All the different colors held so much promise 
In one instant all that changed 
She was confronted by the cold reality 
That not everything consist of rainbows and silver linings

In real terms life has its best and its worst moments
She just had to decide on which ones she was going to focus on more
