Life can be so overwhelming.
Too much strain, too few smiles.
Shoulders that carry too much weight
on feet that have walked miles.

Dark clouds hover over your head.
No sun to light your day.
Troubled waters flow below you.
Struggle to find your way.

Sometimes swallow your pride
when alone you cannot stand.
Embracing family, friends that love
in ways no other can.

Let them pick you up when you fall.
Let them help dust you off.
Know that they will always be there
with a warm heart so soft.

Believe them when they tell you that
the hard times come and go.
Believe them when they tell you that
the tears can freely flow.

The sun’s rays shine brightly again.
You remember to smile.
You realize life’s best lessons
are learned through all the trials.

Don’t be afraid to dream your dreams.
Never lose the vision.
Rainbows follow the darkest storms.
Your life, your decisions.

Just keep on looking and you’ll see
light at the other end
of a rough and rugged tunnel.
