Breathe
just take a long, deep breath andhang on.
wars. poverty. hunger. hate.
it's a hard world
to live in sometimes.
sadness. injustice. anger. death.
i see it on the news.
i smell it on the streets.
echoing,
drowning out the good.
a flat tire. a broken promise. the death of someone immeasurably close.
powerful, aching, overcoming.
i've felt it, too,
believe me.
but
to me
life is
STILL
a miracle.
a gorgeous, magnificent
miracle.
you can call me
naive.
you can think i just don't see.
you can look at me with a roll of your eyes.
and that's ok.
but keep this in mind...
everything
works
out.
trust me.
i've been there a hundred times.
dark nights, like the
sunny days...
they all end.
it will get better...eventually.
i promise.
laughter. singing. contentment. peace.
they're right there, too,
if you just look for them.
joy. trust. miracles. love.
just remember to
breathe.
