Seeking Serenity

Seeking Serenity 


To seek serenity is simpler said than done

   at times so filled with sadnesses that come and go.

      When one's resolved or healed, another has begun...

         nowhere to go; nowhere to hide, nowhere to run.

The choice...stay put, adapt, relaxing with life's flow.


Support comes from inside with paths to guide us through,

   adjusting thoughts to glorify life's peaceful side,

      embracing joy beneath the sun and skies of blue.

         Hope, love, and faith can transfigure the darkest view!

Serenity...the calm...to where we steer life's ride.
