Sometimes
Sometimes it's greener if you water
Sometimes its rosier if you plant
sometimes its cleaner if you wash it
Sometimes its beautiful if you see it
Sometimes its brighter with shades off
Sometimes its warmer in the sun
Sometimes its deeper if you dig
Sometimes its real if you believe
Sometimes its truer if you're honest
Sometimes its understood if you meant it
Sometimes its heard if you listen
Sometimes its easy if you let it
Sometimes it happens with effort
Sometimes you lose if you win
Sometimes you you win if you lose
Sometimes its good when you get it
Sometimes its better when you deserve it

Some people grin and bear it.
Others smile and change it
