Anna M Shepard Poet Free verse

Influences

People and events come and go
Forever changing our lives
We all know this to be true

Influences show up
From out of nowhere
Some good, some bad
And some that didn’t seem
To make any difference at all

Whether a tragedy or celebration
We hold on to the hope
That whatever comes our way
Will take our weaknesses
And turn them into strengths
Through these strengths
Our dreams can be realized

James Swartz May 14, 2018 at 3:29 PM Very true words Anna. I wish I could have avoided more of the bad ones but I guess you can't have good without the bad. I really enjoy your words Anna. Anna M Shepard May 18, 2018 at 2:08 PM Glad you enjoyed reading this. We all hope to get more positive Influences, in our lives, than negative. Unfortunately; not the case for most of us. Have a blessed day.
