Rise and Shine
~
after the long dark winter
it’s time to embrace the light
no more hiding in shadows
no more hesitating in doubt
the quiet time has served
your gifts are calling
and the world is ready
let go of your fears
turn toward the light
let’s rise and shine
~
P.S. I wrote this poem to inspire myself to rise up and move beyond my challenges. I hope it inspires you to live your best life too. The photo is actually a sunset since I’m rarely up early enough to see a sunrise. 🙂 Rise and Shine!
A real affirmation, Brad. Well done.
