Sometimes

Life is a challenge, seems it's always a fight Kept on our toes, fists balled up tight But every so often there's an ease of its grip it'll loosen just slightly to present a small dip Uphill we must climb to notice, it's small but it's bright To see it so clearly...This break! What a sight! To just dive for the opening and coast for a mile could really help out, even just for a while But because we're all different, diverse, and unique moments of clarity, each come when we seek It's our own burden, to escape to good thoughts Deciding that sometimes, we 'can' call the shots Sometimes it's a treasure lost long ago or maybe some good news, that lifts us up so Sometimes it is music, that fills us with hope It can make our heart dance and seemingly float Sometimes it's a child or a puppy's big eyes That, just for a moment...make good thoughts arise Or maybe it's not...what we touch, hear, or see It could be a feeling that yearns to be free Just happy to be alive can stop gloom in our head To realize all the beauty, around us instead A life must be lived because time 'will' go by Regardless of worries or stress that we cry *** For 'You' are the star, this movie you're in It's all up to you, embrace where you've been Sometimes it's best, all the pain to endure so the good that is 'in' you, can surface so pure You've been there and made it, don't dwell on the bad Go for that break, be the light you once had Sometimes that opening is a sign of some peace and it's yours to take hold of, for a mile at least And... Sometimes, if you feel just a little bit stronger You'll hold tight to that goodness, just a little bit longer
