Vicissitudes and Victories

I present an original poem representing my thoughts tonight on the title of this blog. The poem also represents my outlook on life as I go through a variety of difficult decisions and moments in my life.

Vicissitudes, those painful moments
pressed from decisions, good and bad;
The natural course of human yearning
for that which makes the other sad.

Choices, and their rightful end
at times surprise our sense of right;
consequence unseen, unwanted
evades the strangers' best foresight.

Yet joy beams forth from hidden wells,
assurance comes when caring lives.
Our deepest, heaviest of moments
flee as water through the sieves

of time, and mercy paid by blood
like light shines out from every plea;
the right prevails through veils of tears--
to us the victory.
