Life Continues – A Poem by Pamilla deLeon-Lewis

     

     

    Life Continues

     

    There is good to be found in all your situations

    So you’ve got to make the best of all these occasions

    Know that difficult times can be your best teacher

    They can become lessons that all your life you will treasure

    So take a few minutes… distract yourself from your concerns

    For, from these situations precious lessons you can learn

    And as you learn and blossom, as you grow strong in faith

    Mature in understanding, and you relinquish hate

    Remember to reach for the good, stand firm and don’t ever give up

    Because life continues around us… living never stops

    And though your troubles may all seem to mount and stop time

    And for a moment it seems you can’t find peace of mind

    Know that there is good in life even today

    And that peace of mind is never too far away

    So just take a few moments to draw strength from the trees

    Find pleasure in a bird’s song or just sway in the breeze

    Life is a series of levels, cycles of ups and downs

    Some easy, some challenging, some funny as circus clowns

    Life is what you make it so don’t forget to wear a smile

    Have faith you’re going to make it though it may take a while

    Don’t ever lose your sense of humor and never succumb to fear

    Don’t say die before you do because you won’t have a prayer
