Endings


I have just learned something about endings...
Now, Im not talkin' about wendings or sendings.......lets' 
Get this straight.....

Im talkin from the hip...and I havent had a nip so......
Listen well........Ive got something to tell....

We'll start with the flicks.......seen a lot in my time..
Short, long, big, strong.........good, bad...funny and sad
Most are from the heart, but the hard hard part is
Always the end..
The stories are great...people, well, some we love and some we
Just hate!! The action is clear...some far and some near..
Romance is hot...well, sometimes, it's not...
Scenes are very cool.....sets are just right..
Costumes, sound....kudos abound...
But, endings........well.......here's the rub

How do we get Walter out of the tub??
Should Mike and Spike get together, in spite of bad weather??
Is the boat going to sink, just because of some red ink??
Will the robot learn to fly..or should it just die..
Does the volcano kill all , or have some just stumble and fall?
Do the kids all grow up just great, or do some wander
Looking for the perfect mate??

Why such a problem with a natural flow...
Why do folks have problems with ends........
I guess it is easier to just keep going around bends......and go with life where it sends......
Do we always have to think about, make a stink about all of these ends

There are things for which life just wont make amends..
We look for, search out the perfect lover, the perfect friends...
We want to tie it all up.......have it all cute like a small pup..
Life's just not like that....you most always have to wear more than one hat..
And just when you think something is this.....guess what??  It is really THAT...
You fall, you get up...and sometimes you just can not get back on the mat..

But this is all OK..I say this today..
You just cant say no...you have to 'go with the flow'..
The energy that is there...the one in the air.....has a life of its own.
Makes for a big big moan...but  we have no control..
As much as we plan, as much as we want, as much as we wish..

We are served our own dish...
This is our order....we can't cross the border..
So...just go along...and try to be strong..
Try to ease into the flow ...because that's where we all go..
And most of all....

Just try to let go...
