"Embracing the Flow of Life's Journey"

Life is a river, flowing wide,

With twists and turns, no need to hide.

It winds through valleys, climbs the hills,

A path that's shaped by dreams and wills.

The sun may shine, the clouds may weep,

In moments grand, in times so deep.

We dance with joy, we fall with grace,

Each step a rhythm in time’s embrace.

The roads are never straight or clear,

But still we walk, despite the fear.

Through loss and love, through laughter, pain,

We learn the lessons, time and again.

Life is a painting, brush in hand,

We color the moments, choose the land.

With every stroke, we leave a mark,

A spark that lights the journey’s arc.

So take each day, embrace the ride,

The highs, the lows, the joy, the stride.

For in the end, we’ll understand,

Life’s a gift, not to demand.
