Sometimes

Sometimes life can be as if
you are living in a dream
everything going smoothly
life is just so very good

Your days are filled with joy
happiness seems a given
your family and friends
are all gathered round

Yet here come the clouds
every day reality intrudes
small and large disasters
begin striking taking toll

Back down to earth we come
learning to take good and bad
moulding them best as can be
not perfect as  life seldom is

Yes life does have it's challanges sometimes. The bads make the goods that much more brilliant. How we react to the clouds will determine our overall contentment in life.
