Is

Matthew, Doug & Abigail 1934 (Sarnia, Ontario)



It is what it is,
But what it is
It should not be,
And it should not be so hard
So hard for you
So hard for me
For you and me, it just is !

Can we change what it is ?
Not if you sell it, as is,
What you see
Is what you get !

Life is not fair
Or unfair, it just is,
It's how we react to what it is
What really it is,
Do the very best with what you have
And if this is not good enough
It is what it is
Isn't it ?

what could have been
Was never meant to happen !
