Attitude can be a defining line.
Choose wisely while living.
In one palm you can hold anger,
the other can hold richness of life.
Sometimes it may be daunting
to laugh while the rain is pouring down.
The smallest pebble may trip you
while mountains can be moved.
If you persist in seeing goodness
accomplishments will be made
that your heart never aspired to.
Roads can be created, bridges built
it's all a choice in the power of love.
There will continuously be strife,
for that is life's way.
Learn,live,love, grow in lightness.
This mortality is all a test.
Know which side you stand on.
Author notes
sadness is a choice sometimes...except with people like me who are bi-polar...but as long as my meds are working i prefer the sunny side of the street...Love to all...
