Space

When the road is long and you feel you can’t take another step,
Try to stop, just look around at everything created, just as you are
And know that you have it in you to take that one next step.
When the hills are high and the climb feels too tough, have faith
You will be given the strength as long as you keep trying.
When the space feels empty, know that you can fill the space
First on your own, with what you love to do, no matter how simple.
When you least expect it, everything unfolds and the rest will come.
When pain is deep, seek comfort, give to yourself, you will be guided.
Just keep seeking whether you feel lost or blinded, seek all that you can.
No matter how weak, there is strength within you, to live through all changes.
First, you must see the roads are there for you to travel and the hills to reach
To view all there is to see while having faith within yourself, you can reach it.
It is then all space will be filled.
