When morning comes with skies of grey,
And all your dreams seem far away,
When tired feet can barely stand,
And life feels harder than you planned,
Remember, storms will not remain,
And sunshine follows days of rain.
When people leave and friendships end,
And those you trust refuse to stand,
When silent tears fall in the night,
And you are struggling to find your light,
Remember, you are not your pain,
Nor are your losses all in vain.
Life is a journey, rough and long,
A place where weakness can grow strong.
Sometimes we fall, sometimes we crawl,
Sometimes we feel we have lost it all.
But every failure has a story,
And every struggle can lead to glory.
Do not compare your road to another,
For every flower blooms in its own weather.
Some trees grow tall in the morning sun,
While others take years before they are done.
Your time will come, so do not despair,
Even the stars need the darkness there.
Be kind to those who hide their pain,
For smiles can sometimes cover the rain.
A gentle word, a helping hand,
Can give someone the strength to stand.
You never know what hearts go through,
So spread a little kindness wherever you do.
And when tomorrow begins to rise,
Lift up your head and open your eyes.
There is still beauty you have not seen,
And places to go you have never been.
There are lessons waiting along the way,
And new opportunities with each new day.
So walk with courage, even when afraid,
And trust the progress your efforts have made.
You may not have everything you desire,
But you still possess an unquenchable fire.
Let patience guide you, let hope be your friend,
For even the longest night must end.
One day, you may look back and see
How far you travelled to become who you are meant to be.
The tears you cried, the battles you won,
The countless times you refused to be done.
And you will understand, through all the years,
That courage was growing beneath your fears.
So keep on living, keep reaching for light,
Keep choosing hope when the road feels tight.
For life is not perfect, and neither are we,
But there is so much more than our eyes can see.
And even when the world feels heavy and blue,
Remember, there is still a beautiful life ahead of you.
