"Rise and Learn"

 

The last days of this year's final season has dawned upon us...

Twelve months filled with all days now counted...

Endless moments and memories added together

Making this life filled to the brim with existence

It is the human condition we find ourselves in

To have loved and lost...

To remember or attempt to forget...

Like all words spoken, they can plant seeds of growth

Or ignite ember's deep within us that burn like a raging storm

This is where we are the difference

We define the definition of living

Are we the shadows cast?

Or are we the keeper of our light within?

The dark parts of life can always be troubling, because there will always be loss...

But as hard as those may be...

We must equally remember the victories gained

Like trees with deep roots planted, they to lose their leaves every year

And still stand tall and wait for better days ahead

Strength always grows within those times when you think that you can't

But you manage to keep going anyway...

Just like laughter a midst the hardest parts, it is evidence that hope still exists

As we remember this:

Love needs action...

Trust needs proof..

And the word sorry always should be followed by change

Making this your promise now:

To the person you were, you did your best...

To the person you are, love them as best as you can...

To the person you are becoming, keep going...

And be proud of surviving...

Because the future holds everything for you as we continue to rise...

And learn.
