When it Happens to You

Contributed by atwojay on Wednesday, 8th January 2003 @ 12:40:00 PM in AEST
Topic: AngryPoetry



And what about when it's not all roses?
(and what about the thorns?)
What do you do when they won't play fair?
(and your friend's got a knife at your back?)
Will your greeting-card words give you hope when it's you
who feels that the night is forever?
What will you do?
When it happens to you?

When it happens to me I thank God that I have an upperhand on my life and so does God. All great things have a good and a bad side. Most of the bad sides are MISTAKES or accidental. Most likely those greeting cards are the way the people who emailed you are expressing themselves to you

Vivid and revealing. I think everyone has faced a point in their lives when this is the case. I like the way you not only take the common "when it's not all roses" idea and puncuate it with the "and what about the thorns". It seems to give it a deeper, more succinct meaning.

Nice communication and thought, though I have a little bit of difficulty finding the rhythm.

Keep up the good work.
Doug

This is so true and you never know whom you can trust.
