A little bad, a lotta Good

By squiz

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

What does a drop of rain bring to a sunny day? What does a brown leaf bring to a green bush? What does conflict bring to a healthy relationship? What does failure bring to success? It seems so often that what is good in life Is so dependant upon misery and strife. Maybe the happiness in life trailed by sad Helps us to get perspective and be more glad. What does a B on a test bring to a 4.0? What does a bad start in a game bring to the win? What does a bad first impression bring to a friendship? What does a bad strawberry bring to the rest? It seems so often that we like misfortune. We like the idea of some disappointment in loom. Maybe we are just so used to doing good things That our small setbacks show what success brings. What does a bad day bring to a good week? What does your criticism bring to your praise? What does the bruise on my leg bring to my battle? What does a nightmare bring to my great dreams? It seems so often we accept a bad outcome. Sometimes we really should look where it came from. Maybe we are afraid to admit what we did wrong. I guess if we ignore why, the bad stuff won’t bother us long. Written May 9th, 2001 © on May 08 2001 07:17 PM PST   0 • 10
