Sometimes

Bella Shepard

Sometimes I think 

That we are creatures of circumstance and consequence

What we fail to see is that

Life is full of happenstance

And we are reactive at best

I don’t know,

Maybe it’s just me,

Sometimes

      My father always said he would rather be lucky than good any day. It does seem that life is full of circumstance. Some years ago I came to the conclusion that everything happens for a reason and that it always happens for the best. Even though I can not prove this or even back it up believing it leaves me at peace and that is enough. I enjoyed your write..

        Thank you my friend for your insightful comments. Your father had a great saying there. You have hit on precisely what I was thinking when I wrote the poem, enjoy that peaceful feeling.

        "Sometimes" - oohhh even many times - I say: fine write, or good write, Bella! heehee.

          I hesitate to say "All the time". The older I get, the more I wonder.

            "All the time".... I'm gonna sing!! Arrgghh, though it's torture for everyone else! lol.

              Thank you Neville, I don't have too many words left, so I figure I better use them while I've still got them.

              We just never know what will happen but each moment of our lives is special so treat them with wonder.
