An Inspirational and Uplifting Poem EVERY DAY from Simon J. Halliday!

The Bitter Pill

Disregard me if you will
For I am quite a bitter pill
But if you're brave enough to eat
You'll find you've had more than your fill

I don't taste sweet, I don't bring cheer
I'm not fine wine or premium beer
I hide in shadows with watchful eyes
Then come to light, provoking fear

But please don't get me wrong, dear friend
My sights are not foreseeing your end
Intent on helping every day
I only have advice to lend

So listen with calm and open heart
The taste seems ill and terribly tart
Yet only truth is what you'll get
So swallow the pill, and life can start


(c) Simon J. Halliday 2013
