Life is a melody
Life is a dance
Life is how you make it some would say
How you are in the moment,
Is how you ae meant to feel.
All around you is the great collective
Through your eyes in the mirror
To see how you are really feeling deep inside
Embrace even the darkest emotions
Hug them like a long lost friend
Accept them ... and you will find ... they will pass you by.
Embrace even the most dire moments in life
See them for what they are
Weakness to become strength,
Weakness once transcended gives you purpose in life.
These moments which take the longest to recognise
Come from the deepest parts
Those moments, some say,
Are your reason for coming into life.
Times of merriment and times of joy must come and go
For times of seriousness to occur
For like the child in a class at school
The human soul must settle down to sums and spelling some times
Those times cannot be forever
Though in human terms they may appear to go on and on
They are as they are meant
And, they are meant to be embraced and cherised.
For they have been sent by your spirit ... to help you grow
Your spirit is with you always
It is love ... it will nurture you and help you grow.
Not always will you feel this way
Not always with the most challenging of times present themselves
But in those moments just know,
While you work ... while you suffer ... while you are in torment ...
You grow.
