BE GRATEFUL

This is repeated - now with the correct tag shown.

...........................................................................................

Be grateful for the dark days,

And when one comes in sight

Don't waste your time in wondering

When life will turn out right.

 

Be grateful for the dark days,

And when one comes along,

Forget about despairing

Over how it all went wrong.

 

Be grateful for the dark days,

They're meant to make you glad,

When everything about them

Makes you think you should be sad.

 

Be grateful for the dark days,

The dark days are soon past;

They come to help remind you

That the bad times never last.

 

Be grateful for the dark days,

They're just a passing test;

As sure as night gives way to day

They take you to the best.

 

Be grateful for the dark days,

They're quickly out of sight;

Why waste your time in worry

When you're led towards the light?

The poem is very motivating. Especially the last stanza. I also liked the repetition used here.💐

Great piece. This is one to tuck away and dig out on a dark day - it will surely help. When things are really bad many people cannot cope with deep meaning words and may appreciate something like this with its level optimism.
