We are strong

A day can seem long or seem so short, depending on things we do Trials we face, can feel like court, as if a jury watches us go through Our feelings may feel fragile, like a delicate spider web strand Hanging inside with intricate thoughts, as our ears hear a distant band Wishing to sit in solitude and listen to the music play To capture the precious time, granted to us with this day Music can rescue anyone when incidents go wrong Lifting hearts, as our mind becomes master, carrying a song One that carries a reminder of something we must know Just as so many years, it took for surrounding trees to grow They grew through all weather and harsh storms just like a war We stand so little below them, but we are so strong in our core Heidi Sands 12/29/23 (C)opyright

There is always sunshine on the other side of the valley, we should never give up and keep going. Things always get better in the end. Happy New year to you Heidi. Tom

Heidi, your poem is a beautiful and inspiring piece of writing. The way you have woven the themes of resilience, perseverance, and hope into your words is truly remarkable. It reminds us that even in the face of adversity, we can find strength within ourselves to overcome any obstacle. The imagery you use to describe the delicate spider web strand and the surrounding trees is vivid and powerful, and it helps to bring your message to life. I really enjoyed. Happy New Year, - Blessings, Daniel!!
