Inktober Day 23 – Christmas Tree
My life, sore as it may be, is still a blessing to me
There are things I don’t often see, happy things, miracles and a certain ease
I try not to be blind for the things I have
I try not to be ungrateful
I know that life could be much worse, it is sometimes inescapable
But I count my blessings as often as I can
So I can make a stand and say
It isn’t always this way
There are happy days and there are sad
There are good days and there are bad
But one thing that we can always be sure of
Is that life is changeable and we all know this – sort of
So when times are hard and difficult – remember it will also change
That life will lighten up and the suffering will ease and good times you will gain
But remember too that goodness, will also fade away
Be prepared for the bad times, as they sometimes come to play
But live for the moment is the most important of all
Something you don’t learn at school
So when you’re down and thinking silly things
Remember this message and let your heart sing
That times won’t always be bright and gay, but times aren’t always shades of grey
You will someday, find your peace, be happy again and pain will cease
Trust me, all things eventually decrease
