Bad To Best.

Goldfinch60



Life can be so strange at times,

We walk the path towards our future

When something happens,

Happens to bring sorrow,

Sorrow and sadness in life.

But on looking back

Many of those things changed our path

And took us to the best things,

The best things that happen,

That happen in our life.

          At the beginning of a new (MPS) day, I look forward to an attempt to cancel my sometimes too evident pessimism.

          Go Andy.

          • Goldfinch60

            Cancel it away Dave, life is good as we are still here.

            Good write gold. We may not always seem to see, or to think there's a way through, when we're in the middle of the bad times.

            • Goldfinch60

              Very true Orchi but there is always a way out.

              Gold I have for many years believed that everything happens for the best we just don't know it at the time. Whether true or not if your truely believe it you have nothing to fear and nothing to regret it guarentees joy and happieness and what else is worth having in this life. A lovely write that I am in agreement with

                  What was meant to be bad turned out for benefit- a beautiful outcome. Hope that doesn’t mean the end had justified the means πŸ‘πŸ»

                  • Goldfinch60

                    The end will always be wonderful arqios.

                      Agreed Andy 😊

                      Beautiful Andy! The pattern repetition in these lines really drive the point home, that tough circumstances in life can really flip around to bring positive change. β€œWhen something happens, / Happens to bring sorrow, / Sorrow and sadness in life” and β€œAnd took us to the best things, / The best things that happen / That happen in our life.” Masterfully written! πŸ‘πŸŒΉπŸ–€β€οΈπŸ–€

                      • Goldfinch60

                        So very kind Tristan and much appreciated. It is a method I use in many of my poems.

                          Everyday is filled with events in our life, good or bad. Usually, they balance each other out. But all we can do is learn from it and move on. Great write Andy. πŸ˜‰πŸ‘

                                A fine write. My dad always says everything happens for a reason, and he's usually right. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Tom.

                                    Sometimes you go through something so challenging then realise, when you're out on the other side, that it was a journey, not unlike the ones you've had in the past, albeit a bit more difficult. I personally think life and its challenges get harder the more you grow up.

                                    • Goldfinch60

                                      Yes you do M O but life gives us experience which cannot be taught.
