Look for the rainbow

After a storm has passed

There is always a rainbow

Sometimes it’s just difficult to see

A cloudy evening with sprinkles on top

We went out to Smith Point beach again yesterday, after 7 pm. The kids really seem to enjoy these evening trips to the beach. Even the sprinkles of rain that sent some beach goers packing didn’t deter them from playing. I wouldn’t let them bring the boogie board, though, there are no lifeguards on the beach after 5 pm. I noticed that the day parking fee is up to $12. I remember 10 or 12 years ago it was only $2.

Keep trying

Keep trying

Even when you’re tired

And discouraged

Success

As well as growth of your spirit

Is only achieved

When you reach

Beyond your pain and mistakes

Anywhere but here

I’d rather be somewhere else now

A place I’ve never been

Being energized by

New people

Fresh ideas

And new opportunities

Your song

Your song reverberates within my mind

Its words are etched upon my soul

Expressing what I feel inside

Making me feel less alone

Our spirits can soar together

Reach for the sky

Not bound by body

Or fear

Together our spirits will soar

You and me

Think of the possibilities
