My Entry - Inspirations to Ponder


Happiness is with our friends
love is inside our hearts
Choices we make in our lives
make us who we are.

Chances are taken daily
no matter right or wrong
Brings about our biggest growth
the longer it goes on.

Disappointment comes by easy
solutions to bring you through
Problems are solved more easily
when you care about what you do.

Our lives are full of changes
so hold tight to who you are
Keep loved ones very close to you
and keep an open heart.

Be kind to others and yourself
be helpful when you can
Pursue all opportunities
be supportive and understand.

Welcome love into your life
despite any former pain
Love the second time around
is definitely not the same.

Adopt a positive attitude
and practice it everyday
Build up your self-esteem
be honest in what you say.

Change is always a smart choice
there’s no way you can lose
These are thoughts to ponder
advice you shouldn’t refuse.
