Whatever you dish out, even if you think you're right, will be handed back to you, so if you get a little nudge don't turn around and push. Maybe it was someone trying to get your attention or perhaps an accident. Either way if you meet a problem with a smile it will most often turn out better than if you enter guns a-blazin' .
Sometimes things just don't turn out.
Sometimes things don't fit.
Just the way you hoped they would,
But don't get in a snit.
Try to make the best of things,
Just the way they are.
It may not be just perfect,
But for sure it's up to par.
You worked so hard, you did your best,
Left nothing up to chance;
But don't judge the day by what you reaped,
But by the seeds you plant.
If you plant smiles instead of frowns,
You're sure to get back cherries.
Plant some hugs and kisses,
And you'll get a bowl of berries;
But stomp and snort, plant anger,
Discord and irritation,
And you'll get back no sweets my friend,
Because you plant vexation.
