The maze of life

A poem about life

Every day there is a choice,

the choice to love, the choice to shine your light,

no matter what's happening around you

for much depends on how you treat yourself through the maze of life.

When you feel lost navigating through its lanes.

Don’t give up, for you could be dazzled to see the treasure just around the corner.

When you encounter people who make you stop believing in love,

Please know, that as long as you love yourself, you always have a good chance of finding love again.

When you are on your knees with your head hanging down,

Please remember to be grateful, for all that you still have and spare a thought for the far-less privileged.

When you are rejected knocking at one door,

Please remember there are several others to knock at, even though you can’t see those at the moment.

If you ever feel lonely and abandoned,

Please remember that you always have the hand of God guiding you, if you are willing to acknowledge his presence.

When you feel burnt and bruised,

Please remember, you have the power to reach the goal no matter how lost you feel walking through the maze of life.

Please remember, you can always rise as a Phoenix rises from the ashes.
