What Next?

Life gives you lumpy gravy

You smooth it out and carry on

What next?

*

Life sends you torrential thunderstorms

You soak up every bit you can

What next?

*
Life throws you a curveball

You manage a swing, though it's foul

What next?

*

Life pushes you towards speed bumps

You bounce along, riding it out

What next?

*

All you want is sweet music,

not sour notes

All you want is a shot,

but not hypodermic

All you want is a break,

but not broken bones

*

Life puts you on trial

You're found guilty

of doing your best

Some day,

you'll come out on top

That's what's next.
