why is that we always remember
the ones who have done us wrong...
when it is the very reasons for
the things that make us strong...
we may not always like it
or we question why to me?
but after some times passes by
if you look then you will see
We welcome all the happy times
but cringe when it comes to pain
but if we only knew of happiness
true living could not sustain
so know that when the times are tough
and hopelessness seems to rein
this too shall pass eventually
and the sun will shine again
We have to experience darkness before seeing the light, day before knowing the night, pain in order to know pleasure - life is about opposites, the ultimate aim of which is to reconcile them. Very good write Dee, well written and expressed.
What a wonderful wisdom in this poem, Dee. So true. Makes me think of the song, what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. Actually if something not so good is happening, we tend to curse it in the moment but so often only later we see that it was really necessary for our own personal growth. Excellent poem.
For some those sunny times are few and far between; a nice way to keep an optimistic outlook Dee.
Well expressed thoughts and feelings nicely embellished in poetic rhyme and rhythm. An inspirational piece of poetry, very motivational. Thanks for sharing. Dee.

Pain often makes more powerful poetry and its memories can be either devastating, or serve towards growth. Congrats on poem of the day.
