Blessings in disguise




Blessings in disguise 

I've been mad ,bad n' glad 
............at times I've been sad
....................I've been the storm 
.............................I've been the lull 
.................................I've even lived life 
....................................in between the two as well 

I've laughed n' I've cried 
........at times I've even tried 
...........very hard to stop my frown 
...............n' give a charming smile 
......................n' forget that I am down 
............................for the power of a smile 
................................can change many a lifestyle 

Dizzy with success 
.........I've shouted aloud 
..............n' when failure struck
..................I fell face down from d' cloud 
...............................in my own created muck 
..........................................that's when I paused 
................................................to rejuvenate and refresh 

Life was taking an acid test 
.....i picked up  confidence and courage 
..............................from the garbage around 
........................................and geared myself up 
..........................................for another hopeful round 
...................................................to challenge my ground 

People  came and left 
....I was loved n' cherished 
.........i was bereaved n' aggrieved   
....................nothing here seemed mine 
..................................neither tears nor wine 
....................................only memories to cry n sigh 
.........................................some escalating me to a high 

It's then that I realized 
.......Shades of life are diverse 
..............like the myriad varied colors 
..................of the  beautiful  vast universe 
.......................making the picture near perfect 
............................with blessings hidden in disguise
....................................only when we awaken n' connect 
.............................................can we understand their price
