Please understand that you are the best at being you,
No one can be better at that don't you agree this true,
Face your struggles and darkness with the strength of your friends,
They are with you each step from beginning to end.
I don't know how you feel nor can my words ease your pain,
But when your feelings subside my words will remain,
And although I don't know you or your life's circumstance,
I hope my words can comfort you if they are given a chance.
Things happen for divine reasons though we may not see it that way,
So take the time to enjoy every moment of each passing day,
Life is worth the struggle so let's not forsake what we are given,
But relinquish any dark thoughts and grow here with the living.

AMEN!
That last stanza says it all, especially in the third line. Very philosophical words shared there; this truly is one of life's lessons. Superb work! Thanks so much for entering.
