Fish In The Sea

Just how much greener can the grass possibly be

And how many other fish are there in the sea

Is life really too short or is it actually too long

And how many rights does it take to fix a wrong

When life hands you lemons will that lemonade taste ok

Once the clouds begin to part with there actually be a sunny day

How much better really are the wounds time is supposed to heal

If I pass on this one will the next hand be a better deal

Those answers cannot just be found

Time and patience are the keys to turning things around

Laughter truly is life's antidote

Family and friends are the clouds on which hope floats

Of all I've learned and all I know

All I can see is there's a long way to go

The grass is not nearly as green as it can be

And as for those fish, well I suppose we'll see

    I really enjoyed this poem. If I may add my two cents, you're absolutely right, grass isn't greener on the other side. I once read/heard of this: if grass is greener on the other side, build a taller fence. Great poem!
