Inner Strength

In the very early hours of the morning, when the dew is heavy on the ground, and the fog adds mystery to the empty roads: one can find a special serenity. Reflection of the years gone by or the beginning thoughts. Like the dawning of this day, you recall the uncertaintites yet know the sun will shine through. Oh, not when your young, age is coupled with wisdom and many things that broke your heart or caused you stress almost brings laughter now, cause you doubled in yourself to allow the turmoil. I am filled with thoughts of what my dad would say:( whats seems so bad today will be better tomorrow and different in a month and a year from now you will wonder why did I get so upset.) He was right, and I think how hard we can make life because it is different now a days. But so much in life has to be experienced to understand , appreciate, and bring the peace to yourself. When you relize all the inner strength you have. As the fog is clearing. I feel a contentment. Today is the first day of the rest of my life and I know no matter who says what or does whatever I control weather it will be sad and bad or simple use my inner strength: cause life is as good or bad or hard or easy as you let and make it be. And it is as simple as that. When you like yourself no ones words can hurt or bring you down. Here is the sun and I have a day to live and make the most of, so those of you who are young trust me you have the inner stregth ,and to those my age we share the happiness, and to those older I hear and understand your wisdom now.
