Unhappy Returns

Always there is life which, rightly lived, implies a divine satisfaction. - Thoreau

as a new day rings

what you last ordered isn't

always what life brings

Author's Note

"Any prospect of awakening or coming to life to a dead man makes indifferent all times and places. The place where that may occur is always the same, and indescribably pleasant to all our senses." - Thoreau

Reviews

[Poetic Beauty]

Life has a way of throwing us curve balls with spikes and fire sometimes.

[Re-Pete]

damned straight. i never thought my life would turn out the way it has but I am still able to count my blessings. At least I'm still here. Nothing is forever except eternity.

[Poetic Beauty]

I’m not where I’d like to be but my life could be much worse. I try not to dwell on what I don’t have but what I do

[Re-Pete]

you've got the right recipe. better to focus on the blessings than the bad.
