TWO SIDES OF A COIN


                        TWO SIDES OF A COIN 
 
 
Sitting in a corner was listening to a conversation 
Happy was talking to Sad and Frustration 
 
Look , That’s John standing by his house 
He bought it today on the birthday of his spouse 
The lovely garden with a fountain in the center 
Mountain at the back and a creek as you enter
 
Tomorrow you must come to watch the housewarming
Never mind tho if none is welcoming 
Few miles away you could be sitting 
To watch John and me together celebrating 
 
End of conversation caught my attention 
I decided to be a guest without an invitation 
Gorgeous and awesome couldnt match the description 
The view and the house were beyond imagination 
 
Went in to greet John and Happy 
Was shocked to see Sad and Misery
There was John laid in a coffin
Happy was seen nowhere in the offing
 
Haspy and Sad are two sides of a coin 
They come at their will and tend to join
Sadness and happiness are part of life
Fight through them to rise and thrive .
