Wishful Thinking
If one can see beauty everywhere
If one can find light in their despair
If one can find strength when they are weak
If at one's lowest they still find a peak
If one with many losses can still see a gain
If one feels a love through all of their pain
If one can find calm in a life of distress
If one can see splendor in all their mess
If one can find happiness in their grief
If one can fill the void simply with a belief
If one can slow down in a life of rush
If in one’s chaos they can find a hush
If one can find mobility within restrain
If one can find sanity in what is insane
If one can be humble and take a seat
If one can be kind to all that they meet
If one can find life when not wanting to live
If one can be giving with not much to give
If one can still trust after all have lied
If after failing one can say they tried
If one can see hope when all hope is gone
If one can see themselves in their kid’s to live on
If in darkness you see the moon's glow is from the sun......
No wait; is this wishful thinking, or am I the only one?
Inspired by Rudyard Kipling's "IF" poem
