Hard Things Poem by gershon hepner

The hard things you may not anticipate
can lead to the pleasures that are often
more powerful than those that punctuate
the easy moments when you often soften.

Inspired by a poem sent to me by Linda:

Sometimes it's a hard thing
that makes you open wide,
but forcibly or on the tide
you find you cannot cling
to land-locked regulations
so to the waves you fling
your many inclinations -
no need for force; you sing.
