Come Rain Or Shine Poem by John Sensele

Come rain or shine, I dare to walk tall
I care to live my life to the fullest
I wear foppish outfits at the graduation ball
And of opportunities I pledge to make the most to reap the best.

Come rain or shine, I dare to love again
Despite escapades that my heart too many a time torn to pieces
In scenarios when I bore to my very core searing pain
I declare I can't forever diss love for the sake of my gentle juices.

Come rain or shine, I pick myself up
Look fate in the eye and dare him for all it's worth
To pour any sorrow today or tomorrow into my cup
Because I pledge to whip fate hands down and mess up his calico cloth.

Come rain or shine, I dare to welcome seduction
A damsel in her flirt and flared skirt blurts
As I contemplate chewing her carrot in desperation reaction
Or rise above a nostalgia precipice or sink into the abyss of past hurts.
