The Silver Lining



The sweet and salty
The bitter and tangy
The ups and downs
The web and cape
The stars and stripes
The cuts and scrapes
The flowers and roses
The music and poetry
The sun and the moon
The bright and the dark
The fight or argument
The beautiful and the crazy
The funny and confident
The broken foot and wrecked car
The plate and cup that shattered
The trials and errors
The five kids you take care of
The connection you developed
The College degree you took on
The Brighter Side is the Silver Lining of our life story.
