Ever Now And Then
Ever now and then
When you're feeling blue
Don't forget now and then
Even winners lose
Fate steps in to have its way
The dreams you had just fade away
~
Ever now and then
Love affairs go wrong
And as time goes by
Heartaches come along
So brace your chin
To lose or win
Ever now and then
~
Even now and then
When the light burns low
And a ship gets lost
In the ebb and flow
Keep your eyes on the gentle shore
Till the dangers past and is no more
~
Ever now and then
You may lose your way
But the road ahead
Will be a brighter day
Sway and bend
To the wayward wind
Ever now and then

Ann, this is an awesome poem. I hope this hasn't happen to you.
What happened to Gary I don't see anything from him?
Voted up and beautiful. Joyce.
This keeps life in perspective, you have to expect a little rain once in awhile. We all grow a little stronger from the experience.
Wonderful poem, "sway and bend to the wayward wind", great images and real stuff about this life we live. Up, beautiful, awesome!
Every thought provoking day
Your words show me another way...
Beautiful poetry Ann, i really like this.
your rhythm and flow are so good , the way you use such simple words is excellent. Are you trying to outdo me?
if that's so you are doing a very good job!!!

Voted up and awesome. Wonderful poem such beautiful words. Loved it.
This is a so-true poem. Beautiful.
ann....Yes, life goes on....we're up, we're down and in reality, never know what awaits us around every corner. To be ready and willing to come face to face with all life presents to us, is the only way we can ride the waves smoothly. Great poem.
Sway and Bend to the wayward wind. I love this line it sums up your poem beautifully. I enjoyed the read. Thank you.
Even a giant oak bends with the wind. Thank you for reminding me of these things.
Awesome poem! These are words to live by.
We all get down on life sometimes. Enjoyed your poem very much.

You wanna fight?! I would never try to out-do a poet like you Michael. I have found it most rewarding to work with other poets. I have had many partners. It's so stimulating to have ideas popping back and forth. And sharing the thoughts is a special bond. See were I shared this authorship with c w brewer. He wrote, These boots are made for walking. However, he was sort of difficult at times. This was recorded in Nashville. I wish I knew how to make an mp3. I'd share it with you.

Oh yeah, the rain does come, and the waves with it. We just have to chill out, and head into the wind.

Joyce, I have loved and lost. Haven't we all! Thanks for you votes. Appreciated! Ann
thanks for the inspiration.tuff times do not last- tuff people do and only because they know that they are stronger than the tuff times.
keep your chin up Ann.
I'm glad I read your poem today cause I'm feeling a tiny bit "down". Maybe it's the rainy weather we're having...Thanks....
Hello Ann. What a well stated position in how to approach life. Voted up.
Ann, What a gently philosophical, lively, lyrical poetic tribute to the ebbs and flows, valleys and mountains in life! In particular, I like the connection between the opening photograph and your third stanza. This reads as much a song as a poem!
Respectfully, and with many thanks for sharing, Derdriu
Your iambic pentameter is just on point in every way, I love your style of poetic sway, its so rhythmic and flows naturally. Great job!
Voted up! and getting shared immediately. Oh and lovely boat image there that one is priceless!
Hi Ann

Three words: Simple, Sound and Beautiful! I really loved this poem as if I reading William Wordsworth's 'Daffodils' Thanks for reminding me of my childhood, Ann :)
This is so elegantly said - the gentle cadence of poetry and the inspiring thought within are so refreshing.
But the road ahead
Will be a brighter day
Sway and bend
To the wayward wind
Ever now and then
