'Sometimes things don't go, after all, from bad to worse' Thinking a lot about this poem today.

A screenshot of Sheenagh Pugh's poem 'Sometimes'
20

With more alt text than just the name of the poem :

Sometimes
Sometimes things don't go, after all, from bad to worse. Some years, muscadel faces down frost; green thrives; the crops don't fail, sometimes a man aims high, and all goes well.
A people sometimes will step back from war; elect an honest man; decide they care enough, that they can't leave a stranger poor.
Some men become what they were born for.
Sometimes our best efforts do not go amiss; sometimes we do as we meant to.
The sun will sometimes melt a field of sorrow that seemed hard frozen: may it happen for you.
Sheenagh Pugh
(December 20th 1950 -)

What a blessing for the timeline. I want you to know I will be sharing this to a few close people who are feeling grief, despair or exhaustion. Thanks for the inspiration.
