Open Sea

The skies may be gray, bringing doom with the rain But there are still things to hold onto, to help me sustain Life may be filled with hard challenges, but I still try To do what I can and to smile after times I cry Gratitude helps me move on each and every day Writing helps me release all the words I have to say Special people who show care, mean so much to me In a world that falls to evil, all around where I can see Choices are important when faced with so much turmoil Like planting seeds to see flowers, in the God given soil Never give up because time allows for change to be What we wait to come our way, on a ship in open sea Heidi Sands 11/7/19
