It's a Gift

Life is brilliantly weaved together

by an ocean of emotions.

To feel at peace, one has known chaos…

to feel love, one has felt pain…

to feel joy, one has lost a loved one.

The pendulum swings

and while extremes live on both sides,

it's all part of life.

Accepting all the pieces for what they are,

while finding compassion and understanding

can help us evolve and grow.

It's a gift to be here.

It's a gift to have experienced.
