Some things of great import, still come to you; <br />At times, in ways inopportune, you think; <br />Life is so challenging and risky too; <br />We feel not thirsty, yet, are forced to drink. <br /> <br />When hunger strikes, we hardly find right food; <br />When sleep o'ertakes, we're unable to rest; <br />Often we have to do our work off-mood; <br />All things done prudently turn out the best. <br /> <br />Our common-sense and logic, saves our skins; <br />A tongue that speaks out magic words is great; <br />Courage and hope in life, gives us our wins, <br />And change, we can however sad, our fate. <br /> <br /> When troubles come in search of every soul, <br /> Avoiding more should be our primal goal.<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-life-has-its-risks/
