Sometimes

Sometimes it seems
Life is so unfair
But whose choice
Is it any how
Occasionally we do nothing
Then mumble and groan
About our wasted day
There are times
When things happen
Out of our control
But its how we
Manage it that matters most
Take a look
Upon that shelf
Are you 
Still stuck there
Or running free
What are you
Trying to achieve
Only we
Can make a change
Sometimes
Life is so great
It’s what we do
That makes the difference
Our choice permanently
Never sometimes

Hi Gail, Excellent write. Very inspiring. Reminds one of the uncomfortable fact that the only person responsible for their achievements or lack thereof is starin' atcha in the mirror. Cheers, Brian
