As Waves In the Ocean

As waves in the ocean, reach high and low
Life will bring changes, as you come and go
But you must embrace both the good and bad
You must not go back to what you once had.

Tho you might be stuck in the here and now
You must gather your will to move on somehow
The path has been cleared, and troubles are gone
Once again healthy it’s time to move on.

As the sun rises, your strength rises too
The day lies ahead, bad days bid adieu
A spring in your step, a smile on your face
You may start out slow, but you will soon race.

As waves in the ocean move toward the shore
Peace lies at my feet, who could ask for more!
