This Is It

What do I want to write?
I feel like I could write and write
I will write about hard
What is hard?
Is it the opposite of soft?
Or does it mean difficulties?
Whatever it is meant
I just want to tell you that 
Life is not hard
It's not hard when you are struggling
It's not hard when you don't even know 
Where you are going
It's not hard when the part of you say go
And another part of you say no
It's not hard when the only one left is you
Just kidding
That never happens
So why do we think it's hard?
We like to complain
We like to do the grouching and moaning
We like to say "what is it, God?"
Instead of saying "this is it, God"?
Would God ever say "this is it"?
So why do we think this is it?
It's only the next step and the next step....
for the step after
Life is beautiful
Life is full of admiration
Adoration, aspiration
Go for it
Climb higher
The step is just beyond the corner
when we actually reach something
This is paradise
Unless we didn't know
This is for you and for me
Enjoy it
The thing is right now
Right here
Do you know what thing?
