Remember what’s important in life during tough times

Tough times? Maybe, maybe not. Some lessons are learned so to live at peace no matter what. For me, a gratitude list of all the things that I do have.This poem shows one way how to do it. It is called “The Journey.”

In one’s life long journey one can see,

A long highway with many pot holes and rocks on the way,

Ones that are small or as big as they can be,

On my own what kind of ride was I having or even enjoying,

The road was hard and bumpy it was the vehical I was employing,

Hardly an enjoyment with me at the wheel as gears were grinding,

Broken down at the side of the road and out of gas I was finding,

I called for help in which I found that I needed it bad.

Complaining about this or that always made things more sad,

Then help came from above and to me a new smooth vehical was given.

A brand new ride from the universe,the best that I’ve ever driven.
