'rainbows and Silver Linings'

There were times when she only believed in rainbows All the different colors held so much promise In one instant all that changed She was confronted by the cold reality That not everything consist of rainbows and silver linings In real terms life has its best and its worst moments She just had to decide on which ones she was going to focus on more ©wilmaneels ©251120181400
