Life . . . we should appreciate all that is good
But sometimes there are challenges that are misunderstood
Do these hurdles in life really make us strong?
Are they lessons . . . lessons that are life long?
It’s so hard when the people who are close
Get hit with a double or triple dose
But what we can do is be there in need
And give hope and encouragement so they can proceed
So on those days when it’s hard to put on that smile
Think hard . . . think of all in your life that is worthwhile
Some things in life are just out of our control
And these are the times we need to dig deep into our soul
It’s not always easy . . . in fact it can be tough
But keeping that energy positive . . . surprisingly enough
Will not only get you through . . . but you will achieve
And more importantly . . .you will BELIEVE!
Your poem is a great partner to my entry, thank you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful poem and so very true. There are those days when it's so very hard to have a good outlook - just because of things happening in our life - and to put a smile on our face. But if we truly look beyond on own little world, we'll see that no matter how bad life seems to us, there are others out there who need to hear an encouraging word or see a smile or get a hug. Thanks for the reminder and inspiration!
ReplyDeleteLife can be hard, but what's the alternative? I like that you remind us to think about what is good. That's so important!
ReplyDeleteBoy, I needed to hear this today! I only wish everyone could hear your message!!! We will get through, even the little things in life or at school. Putting a smile on my face now. Funny - now that I write this I really am smiling because on M's shirt today was a smiley face and P was disappointed that she didn't have one on her shirt, but I told her that her smile had to be on her face. :) And she got it!
ReplyDeleteWhat an uplifting poem! It's so important to focus on our blessings. It's hard to look around and see things that aren't good enough and complain. It's much harder to appreciate what we have and to just be thankful for it. Thanks for this important reminder.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to keep a positive attitude and keep my sniping to a minimum - thanks for inspiration (as usual!!!) :):)
