(And here's to a weekend of GC(click). I've been looking forward to this weekend.)
SOMETIMES
Sometimes things don't go, after all,
from bad to worse. Some years, muscadel
faces down frost; green thrives; the crops don't fail,
sometimes a man aims high, and all goes well.
A people sometimes will step back from war;
elect an honest man; decide they care
enough, that they can't leave some stranger poor.
Some men become what they were born for.
Sometimes our best efforts do not go
amiss; sometimes we do as we meant to.
The sun will sometimes melt a field of sorrow
that seemed hard frozen: MAY IT HAPPEN FOR YOU.

P.S. MUSCADEL: noun; a muscat grape esp. as grown for drying to make raisins (Just in case you didn't know. I didn't).

That is my sincere wish for you today.
