The Lesson in the Rain
I walk outside and watch as the rain attacks my umbrella
Full force as if to prove a point. Maybe that point is that
Change is the only constant; it could simply tell us that
Sometimes it will rain, and as a result,
Things will get ruined; things will improve
It will do what it’s meant to do so simply take it for what it is
Accept its power to destroy and create
Don’t simply dwell on the negativity
And as the rain begins to overpower the umbrella
Seep through, understand that I did my best to stay dry
It’s not that my best wasn’t good enough
But simply that other factors happen; therefore
I appreciate the rain and the valiant effort of the umbrella
And value the little things while realizing that
My best will never be “not good enough”
During any hurdle or aspect of my life
And that goes for you as well. So remember that…
