When Life Sends You Rain, Splash In the Puddles

It's so inspiring to think
That even during negative times,
A positive side can be found!

When you feel your heart sink.
There's that mountain to climb,
And you imagine you'll never leave the ground!

Something within you
Stirs your soul and you find your battle
Can be fought and won.

You haven't a clue 
How! You shake fear like a rattle.
Your growth in confidence has begun.

Yes you super survivor
You can do this! Even if through tears and pain.
And when everything seems in a muddle.

Keep this motto alive,
" When life sends you rain,
  Splash in the puddles! "

Thanks Tom. This phrase was inspired by the famous, "When Life gives you lemons, make lemonade" so I wanted to make my own one up. Similar principle but I like it :-)
