Stuff Happens

When things don't turn out Quite the way you hoped they would, Don't withdraw into a shell, or worse, Don't scream and curse the universe. Onto each head some rain must fall, Life is a crap shoot, after all, Stuff happens. When you hold on to dreams Much longer than you should, You will find out, to your dismay, With time, some dreams just fade away, But the world keeps turning even then, And hearts that break can also mend, Stuff happens. But, don't give up on dreams, Don't banish them for good. We all will have our turn at plate, And call it luck, kismet, or fate, We each get our allotted share, Life is dispassionate but fair, And to everybody everywhere Stuff happens.
