Everything Went Wrong Today

What Goes Wrong Today Might Go Right Tomorrow.

Everything went wrong today;

I argued with a friend,

I broke something,

I got turned down for a job,

I missed my work deadline,

And I skipped going to the gym.

My whole world was turned upside down,

I felt like a clown!

I despaired for hours,

Held a rain cloud over my head,

And refused to step out of the door.

Then,

I had a lightbulb moment;

Things get resolved when we slow down.

Yes,

Everything went wrong today,

We all have bad days;

That's ok,

I'll shrug it off and smile,

Because what goes wrong today might go right tomorrow.
