The only thing I am taking an exception to in your WFE is the use of "sometime" in " when something happens, sometime, something will come". I am pretty sure you meant to use "sometimes". To quote from the not-always-reliable-but-always-becoming-more-so Internet:

<<The adverb sometime (one word) means at an indefinite or unstated time in the future. As an adjective, sometime means occasional or former. The expression some time (two words) means "a period of time." The adverb sometimes (one word) means "occasionally, now and then.">>

Actually, it's "sometime" in this case, meaning "eventually" or "at some point in time", rather than "occasionally". You're right that it would be "sometimes" if it were an adverb modifying "happens", but it's not. The only grammatical error in my WFE is the comma after "sometime". I'm not sure if it should be there or not.
