Woe is me…I have become undone!
When it comes to luck..I seem to have none.
Just when I think all is hunky-dory
Things soon happen to alter the story.

Driving along ..on this nice sunny day,
What could go wrong? To myself I say,
No sooner had the words from my lips escaped
Then the car seemed to balk, then literally gasped.

No pleading or coaxing would revive my auto,
So out with the cell phone...as I knew I ought to
Gather some help from a familiar source…
Who?  The man with the wrecker, of course!

Now, we all know the end to this very sad tale,
I’ll probably end up with a cheap car for sale;
But there is also another side to this penny,
There always is and it’s happened so many

Times when in the future I couldn’t see,
But God has always taken care of me;
So I lift my head high and go from there,
Knowing full well that life is never fair.

We can either go on or let it subdue us,
Viewing the glass half empty or full, yes?
In our lives there will always be strife
But through it all we learn a lesson of life.

How clever of you to take this attitude.  I too remember how sometimes there were situations that I thought I would never be able to get out of and yet I did.  Now they're so inconsquential that I can't recall them. It's the things you don't worry about that happen, so don't worry.  love, Joyce

Very good advice,  Joyce....that problem is solved already, anyway.  Ended up having to get a new vehicle.  ))  I tend not to worry about things...maybe initially, but only short-lived. Thanks for the advice and the comment........ twilah

I guess there are solutions to everything but sometimes it's hard to see them. I can really relate to this poem.  Good job.

Thank you, Betty. I dont think anyone really can find something good in bad things happening at first....but down the road, it usually becomes very clear...at least I have found this to be true...

Love this, Twilah!
  You've put together a nice mix....tossed in a sense of humor, added some faith, and concluded with a thoughtful view...
Enjoyed!

Twilah: I too love the light humor you sprinkled in among the faith and hope...when life hits between the eyes, the only thing to do is give it to God, and then He has a lovely way of turning lemons (pardon the pun) into lemon-aid! Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Ellie, you are sooooo right!  I have learned over the years..to trust Him...and He will take care of all these little insignificant details.  I have NEVER been disappointed.  
Thank you for commenting......   Twilah
