This Shall Too Pass

Great phrase for tattoo

By Seema PatelPublished 9 months ago 1 min read
@Seema

When agony paralyzes you,

and you feel numb,

with frustration and sorrow,

when arrogance corrupt,

your fickle mind,

and you feel superior—

just clearly remember:

the wagon wheel of time

is moving relentlessly.

What is up, will be down,

this too shall pass.

So, stay courageous,

stay humble, kind

seek peals of wisdom,

as you navigate this

finite, mortal journey.
