Look

Your life is your life
Live it the best you know how.
Don't get beaten down

                          Sure
there will be screw ups-
                               sometimes


misfortune and trouble awaits.

Nothing stays stagnant though 
everything flows.

Look for
opportunities.


Soon you will see
the faintest of flames.

Walk toward it,
It will grow as bright
as the noonday sun
                          one day

What you see is what you get....my motto is to keep visualizing what you want and it must manifest. Inspiring words Allen! : )
