yet another poem

My economics professor shared another poem with us in class the other day. I thought it was quite fitting as we head out into the "real" world and face obstacles and frustrations, whether they be managing a tight budget, finding a job, meeting new people, finding an apartment, or anything else.

Sometimes (Sheenagh Pugh)

-

Sometimes things don't go, after all,

from bad to worse. Some years, muscadel

faces down frost; green thrives; the crops don't fail,

sometimes a man aims high, and all goes well.

A people sometimes will step back from war;

elect an honest man; decide they care

enough, that they can't leave a stranger poor.

Some men become what they were born for.

Sometimes our best efforts do not go

amiss; sometimes we do as we meant to.

The sun will sometimes melt a field of sorrow

that seemed hard frozen: may it happen for you.
