We all strive for the best life possible

When some days the best possible life

Is merely wishful thinking, cloud talk

When some days our best is far less

Those days when good enough feels

Like a distant memory or even mirage

If your best life possible is less

Than all you imagine it should be

Don't give up and don't give in

When life is stormy and rough

When you feel anything but tough

Don't give up

Don't let go

Every storm you get through alive

Makes you

*

Like trees

Needs storms to strengthen them

Their trunk and roots

Storms can strengthen you

Build your character

Give you a robust foundation

So

When you feel like letting go

Don't

When you feel like giving up

Don't

Weather the storms

Let them mould you, make you

Stronger

Today might not be your best day

Tomorrow might just be the same

But some day

You will live your best life possible

*

Thanks for reading!

    Feeling uplifted by this! Love your reminder that the trees need the storm for the roots to grow strong. You are speaking to my heart there, pal! Great piece and so wonderfully encouraging. Thanks for always putting out such wonderful words to lift us all up. You are just a gem!

    Sometimes the storm fells you too! I say that off the back of not nearly enough sleep though...still standing however.

  • Trees need storm to strengthen them? I mean storm strengthens the trees? Really? Whoaaaaa, or never knew that! Your poem was very uplifting! 🍩🥐

  • Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger..., ...even if it also makes you miserable.

    Lovely work Paul! I see the clouds are making an appearance in your work yet again. 😁 I’ve not heard that phrase “cloud talk” - but I like it! 😊👏
