I tend to forget some things I've learnt
things I easily forgot
for instance . . .
I was bewailing my fate
cursing my luck
saying life just isn't fair
shaking my fist at the thunderstorm
which came into my life
uh . . .
that would be yesterday
today a silver lining shined bright
in that thunderstorm
I'll n'er forget this lesson again

P.S.: I've started believing in miracles again too

Dear respected JerryPat2,

Spreading fear is very easy
Planting doubt is possible
Giving confidence is noble
That act is by you done
May God bless your kindness.

With best wishes, Thanking you, Yours truly,

Jerry, Silver linings can be absolutely angelic. You make a very good point. I tell myself frequently the storms may roar without me... Some days, they just don't listen. *grin*
