The Day Awakens

The day awakens with hope filled sunshine A time to rest and to make it the best Each day, we are given the gift to choose How we approach it and what we lose No matter how hard, there is always hope To step into the day and try our best to cope With anything that may be thrown our way To keep our dignity in all that we will say To overcome those places we left and ran Life is not easy, but today we can survive Embrace it with gratitude for being alive Heidi Sands 8/20/17

If it wasn't for souls like yourself we wouldn’t have the eyes or ears to see and hear the world that surrounds us ...nor would we see or hear the beauty just out of reach that makes our world a little less overbearing. Well done my friend, Emile.
