Red and Green Lights
By larry r Linville

Some days the lights seem only red
other days they’re always green
I guess it really makes much sense
that most days they are in between.

We remember our frustrations
when those stoplights make us wait
because those are the exact days
when we’re always running late.

Those green lights give us amnesia
and we just can’t seem to recall
driving through those intersections
smoothly traveling to the mall.

Life is full of red lights and green
as we travel on life’s highway.
Some days we stop more than we go
while we drive along each byway.

The secret of happy living
comes by not fretting when it’s red.
Instead we need to use that time
by planning what is ahead.
