Whirlwinds Poem by Robert R. Railey

Whirlwinds

It's true, of course, that life can be hard at times and please be assured that more troubles will surely abound; but not all of the ill winds that blow through a person's life are the same as the whirling dervishes that can wreak havoc upon a freshly plowed field
In fact, whirlwinds can appear very suddenly in our lives as if completely out of the blue; and even though they're of a quite different nature they can be just as harmful
On the other hand, though, some people manage to live very happy lives and they seem to be able do so even through turbulent times; unfortunately, though, some of us will take a quite different approach
So when you're faced with changes, as all of us must, we should try first to change our innermost selves and not the entire milieu
For it's often said that life's lessons are difficult to learn, and when swathed in misery we oft-times blink even as we espy our escape; but along the way it should become clear to us that we have forgotten where our responsibilities lie; and that's simply to live happily in this one single day that's been given so freely to us
