The power of goodness is stronger than the power of evil.
GOODNESS
Why do bad things happen to a good soul?
I ask myself the question while my tears roll.
Can too much goodness be a bad omen?
Or is it just the way of the human?
They say what don’t kill you
Certainly can heal you.
I must be the healthiest person alive
For in my pains I always dive
Pains can be like pretty flowers
Because they evoke creative powers;
While they embellish the mind with imagination
And move the soul to flourish with passion.
I think at the end, bad things happen to all
As we gaze into this wonderful wall
While staring at this great art called life
We’ll realize no one is immune from strife
There’s always a reason things happen
We hear this line quite often;
Whatever the causes may be
They’ll always be found inside you, inside me.
At the end greatness will always win
For it is like the highest mountain;
Life is always worth living
No matter what we are feeling.
So go out there and enjoy the day
Something great might be on the way;
You might not even know how soon
Might even come fore’ morrow’s noon!
Miracles can happen, who knows what tomorrow might bring. Joy, sorrow, wealth, loneliness all have to be taken literally along with anything else that comes our way. Some day we all will find what life was worth living and why we were put here on earth. I cannot wait for that day. Greatness please come to me too.
As I read the poem, I am reminded how my best poetry was borne of pain. I have come through to the side of light and now feel creatively stumped. lol Great poem.
Strange--as I was reading this poem, I heard it narrated by a young girl's voice, as plainly as day. Something very spiritual about this. Thank you for sharing.
A very inspiring read. A poetic journey through life written by a special and talented author.

For everything under the sun there is a reason. Death / life birth/growth etc. life is primarly good or eveil I believe is you live and strive for goodness then evil can call but it has no power. Thank you for posting this write.
