I stand where yesterday

and tomorrow quietly meet.

Years rest in my hands,

some heavy, some kind.

Strength taught me to stay.

Peace arrived without noise.

Not all plans survived,

yet I did.

I walk slower now,

and finally see the sky.

1/30 Edited to

... Read moreReading this poem, I felt a deep connection with its themes of enduring strength and peaceful acceptance. Life often throws unexpected challenges our way, and not all plans go as hoped. Yet, like the poem suggests, surviving those moments allows us to grow stronger. I've learned that slowing down and truly observing my surroundings helps me appreciate simple joys—whether it’s the vastness of the sky or quiet moments of reflection. It’s a reminder that peace doesn’t always come with noise or fanfare; sometimes it quietly settles in when we embrace what life hands us. Holding years in my hands, some heavy with hardship and others kind with blessings, resonates as a powerful metaphor. This poem inspires me to cherish the past, live fully in the present, and move forward with patience and grace.
