Passing Thoughts

Passing Thoughts

Why do we seek answers
   for questions that have none?
Why do we build up frustration
  when we could be having fun?

Why to we tear ourselves apart
   over idle remarks?
When we could be enjoying life
   sitting in the park.

The things we fear hardly
   ever come to pass.
On every rough road there are
   some smooth patches at last.

No one ever made progress
   by sulking about his luck
But you can stride out in seven league boots
   if you have a little bit of pluck.

When there are black clouds
   lightning and thunder.
When you feel your whole world
  is being torn asunder.

Then remember the beautiful peace
   that descends after the storm.
A new World of blue skies, singing birds, gentle winds,
       A world reborn.
