What Is It

`

It is what it is and that’s all it can be
Because what it is will be just what you see
It’s not what it’s not for that just wouldn’t do
For what it is not is not what it is too
It isn’t quite that or it isn’t quite this
It could be so grand or be something to miss
It is just the same as it was just before
Nothing much less and its nothing much more
But know when it comes it is what you will see
For it is what it is and that’s all it can be…

or is it?

Hi, Chris! I love the way you put this together. And the last two lines are simply some of the finest pearls of wisdom I've read in quite a while! This is going right into my FAVES. Bravo and Holiday Joy to you and yours! ~ Gershon
