LIFE'S NOT FAIR
By: Judy A. Andres
"Life's not fair!" I'd always say
When you would come to me,
With some injustice in this world
That you'd so plainly see.
I hoped that you'd both come to learn,
No matter how well planned,
There would be times here in this life
That you'd not understand.
I wanted both of you to know that,
Even though not fair,
There was a lot of good in life.
Just look, you'd find it there.
For if you only looked for bad,
I knew that's all you'd see.
And that would make your life down here
So full of misery.
Now when my heart within me cries,
"Your death was so unfair!"
It's almost like I hear you say,
"You're right, Mom, life's not fair!"
"You need to start to look for good ~
If all you see is bad,
The rest of your life here on earth
Will always stay so sad."
It's just as if the words I said
Keep echoing at me.
Refusing from my mind to rest,
Until I finally see.
Life's not fair ~ I knew it then,
And even more so now.
But while I've life, I'll look for good
In everything----------somehow.
