The revelation or reality is sometimes troubling

Though unsettling it can be humbling

One thing about losses we begin to appreciate the wins

The holy would never be holy if it wasn’t for sins

You can’t know happiness without feeling pain

How can you enjoy the sunshine without knowing rain

I know the bad days can weigh heavy on your soul

But it reminds us of what makes us whole

Optimizim is our biggest advocate in this life

The chance to turn a downward spiral of strife

Into an upward spiral of peace keeps us going.
