Powering through life is hard, and sometimes you’ll get hit extremely hard by things you never expected to happen. I won’t get into details, but that happened to me today and I decided to write a poem as a way to get all of it off my chest.
I remain calm in the face of a roaring tide
And placid in the midst of a windy gust
With patience and trust on my side
Tranquility prevails and fear turns to dust
As the tumbleweed rolls thru the sand
And dark clouds blind the horizon
Peaceful and stoic I stand
As time travels thru many a season
Life itself is an epic journey
With waves of action surfing up and down
Sometimes it feels like a tourney
Watching every step, lest you drown
But going through it, I’ll risk it all
In each and every passing year
Cause my belief is there to break my fall
Help clear the clouds and bring on cheer
