"Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you; they're supposed to help you discover who you are."

~Bernice Johnson Reagon


Poem Artwork

Life is a challenge to be lived by those who are courageous

We spend many hours, days and years on plans that may go amiss

A secret that I’ve learned from my many years of existing

Is that there is more to life than simply breathing and subsisting

The blessings that come your way are rewards to be enjoyed

There are also frustrations to life but be ye not annoyed

Thank God for each experience, be they events both good and bad

If it is something that you have learned from it is an experience to be had

All of life’s encounters are exercises that help your mind expand

This is an important part of living. It is important that you understand

Live each day and prepare yourself for each and every day’s endeavors

Be they adversities or be they opportunities there is something to learn from each of these encounters

The Ghost of Mavis by Mary Lynn Plaisance

Mavis asked, "Am I a ghost again? I don't remember being a ghost, but I know I was." Do you believe in reincarnation?
