Life is a sea (Triolet)

Life is a sea, with tides that turn Some days it is calm, others not Time’s lesson not easy to learn, life is a sea, with tides that turn It tests resolve, simple to stern No need in becoming distraught Life is a sea, with tides that turn Some days it is calm, others not

Author notes

Some days, life can be so beautifully serene, and others a raging storm that just tears you apart. The true test is how you deal with it. Do you give up and drown, or do you face those stormy days and say, “Give me your worst, because I will be damn sure to give you mine.”

    That is why we must baton down the hatches..wind in the poop deck and weather the rough patches for its part of our growth as a person We'd never appreciate the calm seas if we didnt have storms once in a while to compare it to
    Loved this John, Bravo!

    I know this so well, but my life has been lost in the storm of the tide too long. I'm trying to get it right, but I keep falling. My mom and grandmother are trying so hard to help, but how can they. When I don't even know what I'm doing. Great write!

    Sometimes the tears do fall. Then I go for a long walk and think. Knowing within my heart that no burden will be given that is to hard for me to bare.Then I go on and face the problem head on. In the end I am stronger .......I hope.
    Go write my friend.
    Hugs BonBon
