Sometimes

Sometimes you’re healthy And sometimes you’re not And sometimes you’re grateful For all that you’ve got. Sometimes you wish, though, For what you can’t get And sometimes you do things You’ll later regret. Sometimes you’re happy And sometimes you’re down And sometimes a smile is Replaced with a frown. Few things have always Or never attached; They’re likely as skeeter bites Staying unscratched. So I’ll stick with sometimes, For I can rely On the wiggle room Always can never supply.
