And So it Goes

 

Disappointment comes in all sizes

And it can sneak up on you

Even when you see it coming

From a mile away

 

I guess that’s because

Sometimes we just want it to work

Full steam ahead

Damn the torpedoes

 

And that’s usually a poor strategy

Because reality

Generally likes to stick its nose into things

And then all you have is-

Well nothing

 

Just another disappointment

Coupled with some emptiness

And a small dose of humility

Just to be sure you don’t forget

 

Ah, but what doesn’t kill you

Makes you stronger

And smarter if you keep your eyes open-

And your mind sharp

 

So we’ll see

As the disappointment fades

And the new day dawns over the ocean

Who knows what fantastic adventure

Is waiting to sneak up on me
