That's Life!

That's Life!

Sometimes no matter how well we hold the umbrella,
the rain will hit us like a bolt
drenching the heart with lighting and thunder,
striking like a dagger right through the bones.
Sometimes no matter how well we walk in our shoes,
the road is unforgiving no matter what path we choose.
The only thing we can do is try again
with no guarantees the umbrella will hold the rain.
 
--Bernadete vdw, ‘25

You’re right, when the storm comes, we just have to stand up and take it.
Storms will eventually pass,  Hang in there!
Thank you for reading, John.
