Oklahoma

poem by: Godfrey Georges
Written on Jan 03, 2017 

We live our lives in the sun, where our hearts gleefully smile,
Though nature is wise in knowing that the rain must fall awhile.
we must preserver our "grays" to give a full meaning to life,
To summarize the good, the bad, & to reconcile misfortunes and strife.
So be not angry at your gray or its rain..Oh Nature, 
Please beg her pardon,
like Oklahoma, we will live; through many grays, oft’ chagrin, so glad
I planted my rose in the garden.
