Hard Times

“You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.” (Maya Angelou)

What is life
If not a cycle
Between
Calm and storm
Calm and storm
And in the end
The real joy
Comes when we find
Our way our of the storms
So give the storms their proper place
The teacher, the lesson
Without the hard times
Who would you be
Today?

Laughter

“The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.”  (Nicolas Chamfort)

And in the end of the day
The joy of a belly laugh
Will remind you
That no matter what
Your heart keeps singing
Songs of Happiness
So do listen
Listen
Listen

 


You are a song.

The Potion

“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.” (Maya Angelou)

Yet another day
Shining upon us
Feel the magic in the air
Know your heart’s desire
Go forth with no fear
You are to thrive
And do not forget
To love who you are
Just because
That is the potion
And the way
For inner joy
