Sooner or Later

The fuse is short, the wick is lit,
Soon frustration, I admit,
Will bubble up and make me grit
My teeth and want to just up and quit.

But later, ah, a different tune,
The sun will break, the sky, the moon,
Will smile on me, arriving soon,
And I'll enjoy this afternoon.

All things must pass, the wise men say,
The dark of night gives way to day,
So in this moment, come what may,
I won't give a rat's ass, hip hooray!

Loved the sentiments of this.
Especially loved the line "all things must pass, the wise men say".
Nothing lasts forever, and soon we're in another season.
Well done, this resonates so much.
