Time for the best


*Entry for Your choice J Poetry contest.

Sponsor: Brian Strand

Peace comes to those who wait
Holding belief in the storms
Keeping focus, even when things are muddy
Not one day is the same as another,
blessed with new beginnings all the time
Listen to the thunder
Watch the lightening
Know that you can sing just as loud,
be just as bright as those flashes
The clearing is waiting for those who try
Then, you can sit back and take a deep breath,
knowing now, it is time for the best
