Notes About The Poem

For contest

Find Your Niche :Wisdom prompt

Wisdom is not enough to calm your fears
Love can be tough and won’t dry your tears

If you see rain look forward to sun
Despite the pain look forward to fun

Know time is ticking like a clock
There’s no notice when it will stop

Be a good steward to others and self
Living in the moment as a great help

Find your niche and thrive in it
Embrace life live it as you see fit

Listen to the divine voice that guides
Being kind is a choice that is wise

When you look at another face
See it with kindness and in grace

Know we all have faults we are not perfect 
Even if lost we can be found and we’re worth it

Words to live by. When I saw this prompt, I wondered how one might approach the theme of wisdom and fear. I thought it would be the hardest of the prompts, but you did a great job. Congrats!

I enjoy this poem. "Find your niche" is a good subject. Some people are more niche savvy than others. Good luck with the contest.
