The Effects of One Day

All of life brings different kinds of days some are bad but others are good we think that the bad outweighs the good but sometimes vice versa so better understood There are days that upsets us causing indeed from many a tear bringing to mind all that's gone before makes one consider all so very clear But thankfully there are other days that you would seek with many cries for on that day brings a glad heart one that comes filled with many sighs This proverb speaks real truth making one sit and ponder on such impressive words of thought takes you out into that blue yonder (' These days you complain about, one day you will cry for ' - Arabic Proverb)

Hi Friend, Life is a combination of joy and sorrow, but sorrow outweighing joy, no doubt ! However the days of sunshine allows us to forget all our pains for an interim. A well written poem with a realistic way of looking at life.

I always like to say that : Life is not always easy and it's not always fun, but it's always and experience. It depends on what you choose to learn from that experience and how you allow it to affect your life that counts. This is a fine message here Gordon. Thanks for sharing. I like a poem that says something and your poems are always like that. God Bless, JB

Hello Gordon ... we don't really know what our minute by minute future holds for us and there will be highs and lows controlling us. Very good advice indeed Gordon - Lindsay

A verse of wisdom Gordon, I know its not all plain sailing and we have to take the good with the bad sometimes but that's what life is and we should be grateful for every second of it. Enjoy the coming week. Tom. Love the quote.
