When it Rains

a light-hearted and philosophical look at life's ups and downs

The "bad with the good"
has been deemed "bitter-sweet",
when referring to victories
ensued by defeat.

Some clouds come with linings,
and tunnels, with light,
giving hope in what's wrong
a new chance to go right.

Those pathways are sought
as the roads to success,
but can take a detour
along roads that regress.

In choosing a road,
players stand for a fall,
where a twisted law blusters:
"You can't win 'em all"!

An embarrassing low,
getting "kicked when you're down",
but the bitter turns sweet, when:
" What goes 'round, comes 'round"!

Many fates come in "threes"
as their victims avowed,
such as "three on a match",
or "three is a crowd".

Funny sayings were made
to describe our worst days;
when we're faced with despair,
we turn into cliche's!
