The rise and falls,
The hurdled walls,
The winding roads,
That lead you home.
The dance of life may not be fair,
As we all feel the wear and tear,
To love, to feel, to shout, to cry,
Is all the experience of a human life.
Without our trials and tribulations,
We couldn't be our best versions,
To transcend with pain, determination, and glory,
We create the most amazing stories.
When life seems tough and you're down and out,
Remember your strength to figure it out,
You've been through a lot and still you're here,
Facing those demons who will run away in fear.
Bring it back home to who you truly are,
Particles of dust made from a star,
Within you dwells the entire universe,
Of which many times you have traversed.
Consciousness is what you are,
The very reason you can go so far,
To doubt yourself is to doubt your core,
The essence within you of which you store.
Tony Sayers
Love, care, courage
