What a Difference Two Days Made Or Not

What a Difference Two Days Make, or Not

To reflect after life has dealt
Lemonade without the sugar;
Two days, turbulent emotions,
Good news, bad news clichés are

Erasing from that reflection,
Looking back, it’s not so bad.
Nothing changed, upon contemplation,
Just knowledge new that I had.

The sun is warming the rooftops,
My puppy still sleepily snores,
The plants are still on their window sill.
God fills the rooms, though much much more.

Very powerful truths stated in this rich, evocative poem, Sunlite. You speak w/the wisdom of the ancients. May I walk w/you beside still waters in this life and in the world to come. Beautiful poetry. The last verse is priceless ... God fills the rooms, though much much more. Love it. A 7 and a fave. L & P ~ always.

It's funny you should post this right now my friend, I just had two employees in my office panicked because of a decision someone else made that affected them, when we rationalized it out for a few minutes, it wasn't near as bad as it seemed. And like your poem state, in a few days when they look back, it won't be so bad at all. I hope this is relevant to your meaning, because that is what I got out of it. :) Nicely expressed Sunlite.

You're exactly right, Chris! Also, holding back knee-jerk reactions that come to bite you later. Thank you!
