the silver lining

let me raise a glass,

to much good that knows to pass,

patience be a virtue,

much wisdom and knowledge through time accrue.

to watch and listen and learn

even when impatience does burn,

when others be worthy critics of burning desires...

igniting a new passion and understanding, the road further fires.

when truths painful need to be faced

narrow- mindedness be erased,

then, all of a sudden, prosperous be the mind...

a solution rewarding be the find.

to embrace that not all be meant for one,

what needs to happen shall be done,

and thus, this glass, high i raise

to what the future holds, no further delays.

it be a mystery a discovery new!

the hope of big rewards be the due!

to let go of much cherished but... not meant to be

eventually a smile...for the silver lining in the far distance... i see.
