Beautifully timed Mishap we need reminding sometimes that all is not doom and gloom - even if it seems it at the time!

Mishap that is very touching. Sometimes we do get mired down by our dark thoughts.

Thank you for putting it on here.

Life has been very trying lately and a friend sent me this poem. It lifted my spirits, so I thought I would share it with you all as there may be others in need of uplift!

Sometimes - Sheenagh Pugh

Sometimes things don't go, after all,
from bad to worse.  Some years, muscadel
faces down frost; green thrives; the crops don't fail,
sometimes a man aims high, and all goes well.

A people sometimes will step back from war;
elect an honest man, decide they care
enough, that they can't leave some stranger poor.
Some men become what they were born for.

Sometimes our best efforts do not go
amiss, sometimes we do as we meant to.
The sun will sometimes melt a field of sorrow
that seemed hard frozen:  may it happen for you.
