I really enjoy your metre on this poem. It has a jaunt in its feet, as the message is upbeat with lots of change along life's path.

Happy day to you my friend and many more to follow. :)

Hi Jaybird1,
I totally concur with your author's notes, " Hang tough through the bad times, the good times will return to you. I agree we should our life like it's the last day on earth. Great rhyming in your poem. Your last stanza is beautifully written and nice flow. Well done and a wonderful message.

Wise words and good advice for all. There will always be bad times and good times, we just need to think positive, be true to ourselves and our beliefs, be kind to others and the world will look better.

This is an excellent commentary and advice for life - I particularly like these two lines:
Don't let fears or indignation
step upon your inspiration.

Thank you for sharing!

It's so true that when things seem to be too much to handle emotionally, just remember that things will get better again. I always think that it might be bad today but tomorrow may be a whole different story. When we were kids and things seemed to be not so good, my mother would always remind us that This too shall pass! Good job!

This is good. I like the simplicity, and it's very approachable, when a lot of poetry can be quite navel-gazing and impenetrable. Thanks for sharing, good luck.
