Some days are soft and pretty, like pale lilac
Others - cold as ice and dark like charcoal black
While some days preserve your peace of mind
Melancholy takes over some, leaving you in a bind
Today, your high spirits might be serving the perfect afterglow
Fears, rage, and uncertainties might hold your soul hostage tomorrow
One day, you could be imagining yourself on the final stepping stone to success
Achieving that dream might feel like boiling the ocean on the next
But that's life - a carousel of perspectives and sentiments
Some training the novices, some draining even the toughest presidents
Here's where you remind yourself of how you made it this far;
About how many bad days you fought through without a scar
And how you didn't ever surrender - being an unsung superstar
So, collect these triumphs to build yourself stronger than ever before
And remember - you must live the bad days to love the good ones even more
"Every cloud has a silver lining"
That truly inspires hope...
It reminds us that keeping positive
Is one of the best ways to cope.
No matter what the problem
Just look for the silver lining,
And much, much sooner than you think
The sun, it will be shining.
Not Every Cloud has a Silver Lining
Written: by Miracle Man

Not every cloud in my life had a silver lining,
But unfortunate things happen to everyone.
I’m duty bound to let my light keep shining,
Until God decides that earthly time is done.
Gazing hinder now makes no absolute sense,
At days God’s retired, which sleep unchanged.
My deeds will be judged with fair recompense,
Covering for my sins has been prearranged. *
beauty rises from ash when life is lived in grace; find your faith in hope.
I chose cliché: "Every cloud has a silver lining"

Every cloud has a silver lining
in dark there's light no need to fear
if patience's kept living righteously
bad days become good luck dear
When Sun sets brings then dark
after passing time light comes again
it doesn't mean that light's forever
in life there's both happiness and pain
in despair hold conscience strong
think positive will happen very near
go ahead on with true courage
see everything bad has gone clear
