That’s just the way it goes, <br />you know it almost never snows <br />at Christmas, <br /> <br />not since the earth warmed <br />and made everyone cautious. <br /> <br />That’s just the way life goes, <br />poppies growing in rows <br />in November, <br /> <br />remembering all who fell <br />fighting a battle that wasn’t theirs. <br /> <br />That just how it <i>goes</i>, <br />always a sunflower grows <br />tall <br /> <br />and strong, yellow like the sun <br />in summer and daffodils in spring. <br /> <br />That’s just how it goes, <br />God is the Father who knows <br /> <br />everything. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />29th November 2010.<br /><br />R.
