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 Published in my 24-page photo/anthology ~MINDFULLY~ 2021 Read on air by invitation ~ June 11, 2021 'LATE NIGHT POETS' AP: 2nd place 2021 Posted on June 6, 2021

I enjoyed your poem. Be appreciative Be grateful Put gratitude in your attitude..You're right, "we never know what's around the corner" so be careful what you wish for.. Sometimes as the roller coaster dips down winding around, it is very hard. It is at these moments I will remember your poem.
