"Everyday Survival"

 

Sometimes we win...

And sometimes we learn...

We were all created for betterment

For others...

And ourselves...

Somebody needs what you have

And we need what they give

A smile...

Love...

Encouragement...

And a deep embrace...

Change is always hard at first

It's a journey taken

It's allowance and acceptance

We work with the moments

It's discovery of the time given

The realization of here and now

Existence is feet moving forward

There is no going back

For we do not merely recover

But reinvent ourselves...

Allowing change is the difference

Because life is learning

The remembrance in effort

We are the fire burning bright

No matter how dark the night

We will find enough light

To take the next step

One moment at a time

Enjoying the good

Breathing through the rest

Fill up your lungs with hope and courage

Rise up...

Like the beginning of everyday

Because to survive...

Is to flourish beyond these moments.
