Very good rhyming and a very good message to the reader. In saying out loud it even sounds even better to uplift your reader.
I enjoy your invitation to reader to enjoy the day.
Well done
Good luck in the contest.

Mary

Comment from lyenochka
I like your alluding to Dr. Seuss with the repeated first words of some of the lines (a tool called anaphora). But most of all, I appreciate that you didn't deny the low points of life nor did you take us to some fantasy-level of delight and unobtainable joy. You drew our attention to the simple everyday joys and blessings in the In-Between.
Best wishes in the contest!

A very well-written uplifting poem about not always have the best or be left with nothing. Sometimes we in between disaster and success at least we are alive and still tryour our best.

Comment from Pantygynt
Having described the reasons for feeling down in the dumps the second part of this poem provides the antidote, known collectively as the 'in-betweens'. These are the pick-me-ups that make life worth living again. Some good ideas in here too.

Comment from Cass Carlton
This piece strikes a chord with me. How often have I sat wondering where my life went, full of sadness and grey thoughts when some small, magical event changed everything. Like the time my son came home from school with Whooping Cough. I was worried sick about how to get him to a doctor when my neighbour called in and said how she'd heard he was ill and she'd take me into town to the doctor's surgery. We lived in a farmhouse some distance from the town and my car had broken down. Her kindness was just what I needed to get my feet under me again. So, I applaud the sentiments in this poem. It's the little things that matter.
Cheers Cass
