Self-appreciation is important to me. I see failure as success, because it will lead me to another challenge. At times things happen beyond my understanding; so much pain and agony – I'll tell myself to keep on going. From years of accumulated life experiences, I've strengthened myself with courage and appreciation. When there were worse conditions, I whispered the following:
You and Me
One might think this is a hard hit There are many more worse than you think Think less fortunate ones When health gets jeopardized Sudden death of loved ones When a child loses parents at early age When one remains on the way When one faces with insolvent puzzles When no bread on the table Digging garbage in search of food A word of gratitude: for the air we breathe For the sunshine to warm up cold body They're too human like you and me
Hi Yeshi, thanks for sharing your thoughts in this poem! When we look around with appreciation, we find more to be appreciative of. When we are down, it's a great perk me up to count our blessings.
