Life seems good for a blink
And then
Adversity
Then
Broken ribs
A torn hamstring
A broken heart
A torn shoulder
A broken hand
A broken arm
A head gasket blowing
A sick dog
A dying grandfather
A timing belt snapping
A boss that sucks
A sick niece
A bank account
With no money in it
A book
Left unfinished
It goes up
And then it goes down
Always down
After the up
That’s just the way life flows
The hits keep coming
But if we keep trying
If we hold steady
If we don’t waver
Despite horrible times
Life gives the good again
And then
You blink
-C.H.
