Flow of Life The Cocoon and the Butterfly

~ The Flow of Life ~

If the sky above seems cloudy,
And you are left out in the rain,
If you're searching for a rainbow,
But the colors bring you pain,
If your world is not revolving,
And there is no end in sight,
If you're looking for the sunshine,
But all you see is night,
If all around are smiling,
But all you can do is frown,
If you're tired of all this living
When Life just brings you down...

Then look beyond your teardrops
At the wonders of this land,
The beauty of a flower
Like velvet in your hand.
Feel the air around you,
The smell of new mown hay,
Laughing children at the park...
The innocence there at play.
Imagine floating with a butterfly
As she flutters between the trees,
Or the whispers of the ocean
On warm hot summer's breeze

Think of the taste of candy floss
As it melts upon your tongue,
Or the melody of morning birds
As they greet each day with song.
Remember words of beauty
Told in your mother's embrace.
Feel the gentleness of her touch
As she softly kissed your face.
Seek the good within you,
Cast the clouds from your sky.
Don't look toward the pavement,
But hold your head up high.
Think not what Life owes you
But of all you have to give.
Forget about tomorrow,
Then you can start to live.
So bless this age you're living
With the gifts you can bestow.
Don't disregard the stream of Life,
Go gently with the flow!
