Sometimes

Sometimes we get news
Sometimes we find out things
Sometimes our world is shaken
Sometimes our foundation stings 

Sometimes we're not who we thought we were
Sometimes childhood ghosts reappear 
Sometimes our hearts ache and get broken
Sometimes memories become unclear 

Sometimes life completely blindsides us
Sometimes people let us down
Sometimes love leaves us in the dust
Sometimes hope makes us a clown

Sometimes we are too little 
Sometimes we are too much
Sometimes the hope feels like it might kill us
Sometimes we feel stupid for our deep trust

Sometimes we fly too high
Sometimes we feel real low
Sometimes we're all feelings and emotions 
Sometimes our souls just glow

Sometimes friendships completely burn us
Sometimes summer love becomes forever 
Sometimes the Universe is mischievous 
Sometimes destiny and fate are inevitable 

Sometimes good strangers will surprise us
Sometimes our hope and faith turn life around 
Sometimes love and light expand brightly 
Sometimes our world view becomes profound 

Sometimes life is a beautiful blessing
Sometimes we see things in a better light
Sometimes joy and happiness shines in our eyes 
Sometimes our souls sparkle with delight
