Good Things are Gonna Come by Badger_29


When you do wrong
it can be a sad song
seemingly endlessly drawn

out to seem
that even in dreams
 you feel like you're only a pawn 

In the chess  game of life
there will be strife,
  but be in a cheerful way!

For these hurdles are
to make you look farther
 than just that scene
or that day


Rollin and tumblin`
shouting then mumblin'
  something about the blues

Two wrongs ain't right,
so fight the good fight
  when it comes to payin' your dues

Think outside the bubble
and then when trouble
comes your way, you could:

See it as learning
for your heart is burning
  to set things to
be as they should

When things are their worst
and your dyin' of thirst
  that's when you should strive to
DO RIGHT!

Then when you leave
and your kin are bereaved,
  (from this shell taking flight)

No one really knows
where exactly we go,
when we go from this flesh
to the air,

but good things will
come to you, I know!
 When you stay out of
darkness' snare



I am a living example
so please don't trample
  on my beliefs or my ways 

For when you look deep
and don't try to keep:
 anger, or unforgiving

You will feel the ways
of the sunlight's rays
  of bathing the space,
and the living

 
So if you are smart
please do your part:
instead of taking, try giving!

A poem showing that my life is back on track, taking a turn for the better . . .

Also, the original title was, "Good Things are Going to Come (If You Do Right)"

And thanks to Thal1959 for the immeasurably helpful review.
