If you find yourself in times of trouble
And if your life’s in ruins and rubble,
If you don’t know where you’re going
Or from which way you came,
Take some comfort in knowing
that some things will stay the same.
There’s always the moon to guide you at night,
There’s always the stars to protect you with their light.
There’s always the trees to give shelter from the rain,
There’s always the wildflowers to ease your pain.
There’s always the butterflies to help you find your wings
There’s always the blackbird, to sit by you and sing
…some things will never change.
If you’ve lost something you greatly treasure,
Of if your misery’s too much too measure,
If you don’t know what youre doing
Or your thoughts you cant arrange,
Take some comfort in knowing
That some things will never change.
There’s always the wind to whisper in your ears,
There’s always the sunshine to take away your fears.
There’s always the rivers to help you gain your flow,
There’s always the pathways to show you where to go.
There’s always the birds to comfort you with their song
There’s always the people to tell you right from wrong.
…some things will stay the same.

Wonderful. Many of the poems I got in my contest for hope were religious themed, and there is nothing wrong with that, but this is more what I was looking for. I love it. The repetition and imagery were wonderful. Thanks for giving me some hope.

This is really good, I believe this was the prewrite you sent me and I loved it even more the second time I read it. It has some great truths in it, things that everyone should know, that even if life is going absolutely awful and it seems like everything is changing, some things, usually your friends, family, the world, will always stay the same.
Great write, thanks for entering and good luck! =) -

"There's always the wind to whisper in your ears"
That is a fantastic line, I'm sure I've never heard anything similar to that.
It is hard for me to judge this contest because I haven't read or focused on rhyme in so long that I am rusty at critiquing it. However, I will do my best.
The poem is consistent, within style, wording, flow, and rhyme. I like that you split the stanzas, it gives this a break, and helps keep the attention of the reader.
Overall, I liked this, and the content is quite uplifting. This is a talented write, and I'm glad you entered.
Best of luck,
Shirley
