The Gift # 2

Missing image
Every day a gift from God
a slice of birthday cake.
The iceing it’s adorned with,
moments from birth to wake.

Nourish your soul, with all that’s good.
Learn from lifes, heartache’s and pain.
These building blocks, of ones character
will let you smile and dance in the rain.

    I loved the positive message from the first line to the last. I think we often learn more from the difficult times than we do from the easy ones. Thank you for your entry. Peace, Liz

    A nice little rhyme for a child.

    I like the optimism in this poem, and in hindsight-I think we all can appreciate the trials and tribulations that drove us forward, however, in the midst of such challenges, I think we all piss and moan. For me, what I try to do is balance every negative thing that occurs with a positive. I like this poem because it refreshes perspective.
