Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining

Every cloud has a silver lining
                             in dark there's light no need to fear
                              if patience's kept living righteously 
                               bad days become good luck dear 

                               When Sun sets brings then dark
                             after passing time light comes again 
                               it doesn't mean that light's forever
                             in life there's both happiness and pain 

                                in despair hold conscience strong 
                               think positive will happen very near
                                  go ahead on with true courage 
                               see everything bad has gone clear

Hi Sir! Your poem was nice. It is short yet very meaningful. Is it okay if I use it in my lesson to my students who are learning idioms? Thank you in advance for your affirmative response!

Your ability to write is always on point and I enjoyed the message in this poem. There rules of the contest called for an original idiom otherwise I would have considered yours for placement. The contest was highly competitive which left out about 10 poems which were worthy of placement. Thanks for entering the contest and I will check out some more of your creative work!

A positive & uplifting write, CLOUDY! Things to keep in mind, for sure. I can be bold, I can be strong, but at the end of it all, I am only human. I will save this write to remind myself, that I will never give up on hope. Are all idioms (puff puff pant) heart & mind workouts? Thank you for sharing! Best wishes, hugs, Mikki

This is very nice. Maybe I am not getting the directions but I thought we needed to invent our own idiom. Anyway, I saw others doing your way too, B.L. So it's not just you!! Good luck in the contest.

Thanks my lovely smiling friend for your wishes. The established Idioms are very nice, so one of them i have written with my own conception. If i make myself a new idiom that will be surely unknown for all except me. So, i have written from established one. Loved always, bl

Your poem is so full of hope, BL. Life has light and darkness, and no matter what, we have to always look for that ray of hope. Best wishes for the contest. Sandra
