Rise

Wishes for spring during icy winter storms
And in the summer heat for autumn’s calm
Like lives of many, have seen this all along
Wine is fine, but sometimes need Tequila fun

Makes me laugh, human kind’s whimsical tastes
Makes me cry, seeing lovers one another berate
Mad crave for things that lie just beyond
We forget life is a speckle in time’s magic wand

Why then be burdened by emotional strains?
Why can’t we some traits loathe and disdain?
Traits that belittle this already minuscule life?
Traits that swindle our joys with all their might

When emotions hurt and you wince in dire pain
Step back friend, from those outbursts refrain
Your time may freeze and expand, and fate laugh
Pleasure is just ahead, do let go of sorrow fast

Sure you may like your roses red with no thorns
But if all flowers were that wouldn’t you frown?
So are your fellow beings with their quirks and all
Love, respect and rise over differences.. big or small
