Sometimes we do what we do not want to,
Thinking we just have to endure the day,
Hopefully knowing we can make it through,
And return back to our regular play.
But something strange happens along the way
That the moment we thought would be painful
Did not turn the day overcast and gray,
And it became an event kind of cool.
I should abandon preconceived notions
Because it’s more than often they are wrong;
Instead, I should enjoy the emotions
That come when I decide to go along.
I should stop looking for the worst in life,
And I will leave behind all of the strife.
