Start Over Again

Sometimes life takes turns that we least expect
Days filled with confusion or worry what will happen
Sometimes feeling trapped, without solutions
Still, there is a way through just waiting for you
Maybe not as quick as you want or as easy as thought
Patience is the answer in times we wish to change
The key is to live moments while things are unsolved
When we don’t have the answers we seek just yet
Know that you are not alone in hardships to face
Know that you can survive what feels impossible
Try and try again when you are able and ready
Rest like the sun when it sets upon your worries
Rise with the blessing of a new day upon you
Know that when you wake it is ok start over again

Well said, Heidi! I don't believe that we are given more than we can handle! Having said that, sometimes life can be overwhelming, to say the least!
