What To Expect

When we walk through life and some steps are tripped..
Its human nature to look back and wonder if the past took a flip..

We all have certain times in life where we wish we can change..
See I look at things differently and expect that a trip is in my range..

This is how I deal with tremors and storms that seem to come from nowhere..
Because if you search your soul you will know it came from a time unfair..

Not a prophet or a philosopher, just a man who's eyes truly believe how it's done..
Another inner look to a Poet who loves the rain but still follows the sun..

"A poet who loves the rain but still follows the sun." What a beautiful poem, Michael. We all deal with adversity in different ways. You seem to have mastered the art of patience and acceptance. An endearing poem, my friend. Love, Carolyn
