some days 
you quiver 
as melancholy runs
 it's cold hand on your skin. 

some days...
resplendently sunny;
spirits and bright smiles 
as warm as a Summer afternoon.

some days 
you can't wait to start;
you spring up 
with a pep in your step.

some days...
rough to sail through;
you feel so broken 
you'd rather not get out of bed.

some days...
strange and confusing;
you don't know 
which way is up or down.

yet, you persevere...

so worry not 
what lurks in the shadows.
get under today's sunlight 
and bask in it.

Life is so unpredictable. Some days are so sunny, while some others are so bleak. But we have to persevere. As long as there is sunlight today, bask in it. So beautifully put, dear Edward.

This is fantastic advice, Edward. Not every day do we awake to sunshine, but making the most of every day is encouraging wisdom.
