A poem about the things you need to get through this life

Tall and strong
Mean and lean
Growing older and wiser
Growing in knowledge
Growing in strength
Becoming who you are meant to be
Not a short journey by any means
Courage, tenacity and artful skills
Some useful qualities that may steer you
For there will be many times
You will need these things

    Just thinking bout people, trying to keep focussed on all the good things in my life and letting go of the negativity that is ever present.Staying true to myself and trying not to share the bad stuff but shed a little light and joy instead.That can be hard. Love and light to you.

    Hope Santa was good to you and all whom are near and dear to you. Its the serious Cancerian inside you, not everyone has that empathy like you, my friend! I would dare to say that reality is a harsh taskmaster and you would know that from lessons learned and all ready observed.Observation is a trait like the written word, some people are better practitioners than others.

    Very well said, Lucy. Don’t let people shove you around. Stand tall and strong, and look adversity right in the eye. Let them know you deserve they’re respect. Great poem.
