A Blessing & A Curse”



Sometimes there’s a fine line,
Between a Blessing & a Curse…
Sometimes they make things better,
Sometimes they make things worse.
Some things can save your life,
But then annoy you without end…
Some things can seem like an enemy,
Sometimes they seem like a friend.
Some things can make you SO Happy,
Or So sad, like seeing a hearse…
But Sometimes…Some things…
Are just a Blessing AND a Curse.
