Yesterday I was rummaging for a sheet of paper for a purpose I've already forgotten and I stumbled upon this piece that I wrote a couple of years back.
Expository on How Life Works
Sometimes it really hurts
When the complexities of everyday life
Eats the better part of our hearts
When hardships and trials prevail
And everything around seems unfair
There is always that hope
That lingers in our souls
Just take a good look around you
Look at the sun and how it reflects its rays on your skin
Or how good the wind's breeze feels when it hits your face
I read it in a book once that a child's smile is God's reminder
That He hasn't given up on His lost creation
And that alone should be a source of joy
Because we already have the knowledge that He loves us
There's no reason really to hide ourselves in gothic gloom
Think about the better days that have come and gone
Think about the times when you overheard an acquaintance
Say something nice about you to someone else
Remember the times you laughed so hard that your belly ached
Or how you didn't mind having a brainfreeze
Because the Slurpy's taste is worth it
Take the chance to think back at your fisrt day at school
As you reflect on how far you've gone now
Or how cute the puppies are even if they slobber their saliva on you
Or how you used to ride the shopping cart as a kid
When your mother did the groceries
There is this old saying that every dark cloud has a silver lining
That tomorrow is another day to make sense of the senseless
But most of all there is always this joy that time will come
When pain is a thing of the past and sadness will cease to exist
For now just find time to count your blessings
And you'd be surprised with what you might discover
