Reflections

Reflecting back on the experiences that life has taken me through makes me wonder how 
many times I could have just gave up and left without the hope of ever regaining the 
power to bounce back up.
Ever regaining the strength to press on through life and still continue to fall and 
stand 
once again.
Life is not the best at times but there has always been something in me to continue to 
think of   the grass being greener on the other side.
The rainbow being brighter when you look deeper into the sky and the flowers smelling 
better the second time around
It is a mystery that while others don’t know, there is pain behind your everyday 
lifestyle,
Hurt behind your smile and wonder behind all the trails and tribulations you go through.
Reflections not only makes you gain gratitude but it brings consideration to everything 
you do and a thankful heart as you move on through life.
Things will always seem as if you have nothing else to live for and the thought always 
happens to cross your mind but there is always time 
Time to think, time to wait and time to get back up again
