Waves of Life

I am inspired to write and share poetry during National Poetry month. I hope this poem will speak to those who find comfort and peace in nature.

Waves of Life

Snow follows a day of sun;

Cold follows a day of warmth;

Pain follows a day of joy.

I have learned that I will never know

what the next day will hold,

but I am no longer afraid of this uncertainty.

Changes are the waves of life—

we will not know their strength,

or how hard the waves will hit the beach,

but they will flow in each day and night,

ever changing, ever free.

If we can learn one vital truth,

we will be set free:

Life constantly changes but we are never alone,

the earth is under us,

the waves break before us,

the moon shines upon us,

family and friends comfort us,

and the one who has left us,

encircles us with love.
