This is an amazing poem - saying so much in very few words. Things don't always go the way we want, and sometimes we have to adapt and do so cheerfully - a very important lesson. It is also picturesque and has the kind of brevity and flow that brings it easily to mind - like Emily Dickinson's "If I can stop one heart from breaking." It's an amazing poem with a good message. Thank you for sharing.
