Let nothing ruffle my feathers- let me be
Able to face life every day with equanimity
This is what I hope for as I begin each day
But as infinitesimal roadblocks emerge along the way
The cool as a cucumber attitude I was trying to adopt
Goes out of the window more often than not
Some obstacles are tolerable while others leave me
Frustrated that things are not the way they should be..
**
That is life, I understand, a roller-coaster ride
And I have to learn to just take it in my stride
There are days when solutions are easy to find
Then there are days when life seems particularly unkind
For those days I have to just learn to place
My trust in a higher authority that I can face
All the curveballs that life throws at me
And emerge stronger on the other side definitely
*
I end as I began- let my feathers unruffled stay
As I get ready to begin another blessed day
Passion...unbridled
