Can only show up after
Dozens of bad ones

Your cold will last for five days
Instead of five days

Children always in danger
Under watchful eyes

To change your life forever

Even when it’s six degrees
Dig out when it stops

Better than you imagined
You feel happiness

But not nearly enough to
Make good decisions

Not as bad as falling down
You can still catch up
