I sit

Emmanuel Ntezeyombi

Rhymed
I sit and watch
As life and lives go by
There is a catch
Things fail, oh my
Up and down it goes
Like a yoyo but new
Temporary are our woes
Wisdom teaches us through
Forward the wise go
Through trials and happiness
The wise do not say no
Even when filled with distress
Good things are always tomorrow
Yesterday is nothing, irrelevant, no sorrow!
