Listen to poem:
wouldn’t it be awesome
if life were always as smooth
as scoops of homemade
strawberry ice cream
easing down our throat
on lazy summer days
sad truth is
oftentimes we’ll find
grit in our leftover soup
when we’re at our hungriest
yes, my friends
we’ve got to make the most
of good times as they roll by
because we never know
what’s around the corner
when the road ahead
is smooth and the sun is out
let the wind blow your hair
as if driving
the convertible of your dreams
always be prepared to
spit out the grit
as you ride
the roller coaster
of your life
