The Light and Shadows of Life

Today and tomorrow 

Joy and sorry

The light and shadows of life 

Opportunity and strife

Nothing beautiful comes without some suffering 

Our muscles need resistance in order to grow

It's the same for our spirit 

The need to feel whole

We need to ignite our inner flame

Overcome some struggles and be victorious again

Facing fear and adversity 

Going with the flow

Celebrating achievements and letting gratitude show

Learn from the wise -whose lessons have not been ignored

Challenge yourself -take the path that's less explored 

Surround yourself with those- that inspire you

Encouraging you to be -the best that you can be

Follow your heart and fulfil your destiny 

Allow your spirit to shine and your soul to fly free 

Then share what you know and help others too

Help them find their wings 

Make their dreams come true

Their spirits will sing for all to hear

A celebratory drink

A welcome cheer

The amazing feeling of winning 

The adrenaline rush 

Crossing the finishing line 

Truly sublime 

Onwards with hope and faith by your side

Your head held high with pride in your eyes 

Enjoying the light - the victories 

Respecting the shadows of your life 

The unforeseen difficulties

Cherishing the leaves as they float on the breeze

Your mind in a trance

Leading your Soul to find inner peace xx
