just in passing

just in passing

A Poem by Sam Freeland
"

for listeners

"
the sooner you learn
life is what you get
though not what you want
you can start to enjoy what it is
in every single haunt
 
you probably have guessed
it is not something new
cause you knew it all before
its the only thing to do
 
maybe you forgot
while complaining about
something you didn't get
so you must be reminded again
that life is never a sure bet
 
pick your complaints up again
and look them in the eye
the problem that you had
is you really didn't try
 
complainers always exist
by the millions we have seen
they spend most of the time
finding excuses to scream
 
every person gets these problems
but a few don't cry
they just face them again
and do more than try
