When Disappointments Happen
When disappointments happen
(And of course, you know they will),
It’s hard to then remember
There are good things out there, still.
For all that you can think about
Is how the day went wrong,
As if the positives in life
Don’t really quite belong.
And minor setbacks do not rank
With really awful stuff,
Though for some people, tiny glitches
Spoil things enough.
I guess we have to suck it up
When plans may crash and burn,
But that’s a lesson that we’re always
Having to relearn.
