Two For Joy

Two for joy 
By Michelle Morris
31/10/2020

If it's one for sorrow, two for joy,
Should you capture the magpie to get your way?
And why do we with superstitious beliefs,
Throw our fear back into the ring?

If it's one for sorrow, two for joy,
It means we have to work twice as hard
to get the future we want to adore;
And focusing on the positive things, 
may be a step forward to gaining our soul's wings.
