happy thoughts

I badly needed to remember that when dark clouds come, YOU bring out your own sun.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

answer the question
you ask
look far away for the truth
it should be there, somewhere
you say
when courage was all that it took.

you want it but it costs
too much
this thing you don’t
think you deserve
if you looked up long enough
you’d see
faith has been given for free.

you fear the things
you don’t know
when there’s only one truth
worth believing:
you’ll grow a majestic tree
from a seed
if you trust you have all that you need.
