Encouragement

Hello my fellow toads. When thinking of what to use to inspire your poetry I had so many ideas, but life brought recent pain and it had me thinking about encouragement. We all need it. Life has many bumps we must maneuver and there are times we can't seem to find the light to bring us out of the darkness.

Today I want you to write the words to bring light into your own life or that of another. Whatever the struggle bring the verses to lift the spirit.

Stand Back Up ~ Sugarland

Go ahead and take your best shot,

Let 'er rip, give it all you've got,

I'm laid out on the floor, but I've been here before,

I may stumble, yeah I might fall,

Only human aren't we all?

I might lose my way, but hear me when I say,

I will stand back up,

You'll know just the moment when I've had enough,

Sometimes I'm afraid, and I don't feel that tough,

But I'll stand back up,

Try ~ Pink

Where there is desire

There is gonna be a flame

Where there is a flame

Someone's bound to get burned

But just because it burns

Doesn't mean you're gonna die

You've gotta get up and try, and try, and try

Gotta get up and try, and try, and try

You gotta get up and try, and try, and try

I am looking forward to being encouraged. There are smiles among the tears if we just spend some time seeking the words to help carry the burden.
