Forecasts Often Help Poem by Tirupathi Chandrupatla

Forecasts Often Help

Rating: 5.0


It's cloudy
Will it snow
Or will it rain?
Even weatherman doesn't know.

Weather's not
Easy to predict
Even with all
Scientific knowledge we possess.

So is the future
No one knows
For sure
What'll happen and when.

Prediction's always
With a degree
Of confidence
Which's only a level of chance.

Forecasts often
Help us prepare
For disasters to reduce
Loss of lives and property.

Whatever's forecast
Use it with caution
Prepare for the worst
Keeping emergency supplies handy.

Prepare for the worst Keeping emergency supplies handy. Good advice based on the universal experience, though people have started to preach that when we expect the rainy days or the bad events, it will arrive..instead we have to think positively...Thinking positively only will not do anything we are in trouble, as long as our life depends on the investment we have made in terms of money and hearts..Thank you for sharing, TC..10
