Notes About The Poem

To my dear friend Daniel and anyone else battling with depression. All my best to you. Hope a bit of light poetry will bring a smile.

 

This Too Shall Pass

Life is filled
with ups and downs.
The straightest path 
will spin you around.
Your in the black.
Your in the red.
Things stop changing
because your dead.

The hands of time 
move on without
your tears of joy
or fears and doubt.
We ride a curve
that's undefined.
A Winter cruel.
A Spring so kind.

Take it in 
and push ahead.
The seasons change
no matter our tread.
Stomping through snow drifts 
or dancing in rain,
running through sunshine
or steady winds change.

Without a doubt one thing is true,
in skies of black or crystal blue.
On you feet or on your ass,
Gam Zeh Yaavor
THIS TOO SHALL PASS!

                      - Jeannie Minor

Thanks Gordon. We're so limited in the ways we can reach out to friends in cyberspace. I understand depression, it's a difficult battle and very easy to get lost in. Thanks again for the visit.
