Something absurdly amazing, About the way things happen: We plan for, and await events But they arrive and we ask, ‘Was it worth the effort?’ Some other times, we wonder how the unforeseen occur When things happen, They may appear, forever to last Or, we pray them to: But perhaps it is true That nothing forever lasts Sometimes, may be transient; Appear to be; Or we desire them to Either with good or bad memories, Happenings may seem indelible; Episodic or alternate Or as a contrasting pair, come But looking into reality, They come only to pass To pass and pass by So it’s good, endurance to learn And self-control For we’ll have experiences to be recounted as tales – Always witness things; forget about them; And be amazed we did Because the new will become old; old will become obscure and obscure will become history Good for once upon a time When things happen They really don’t stay They go miles far away Although nostalgia, Reminiscence And their stimulant brethren Could bring them back From their odyssey
