The following is my 8th poem for  National Poetry Month . The goal of a poem a day. This is a new experience for me.  I am enjoying the challenge and the creativity of using my mind in a new way.

Embrace the blessing

that can be found in everything

If I am willing to look for it

In the light

and that which is also hidden

Life can be a challenge

Embrace that which makes me stronger

Step through the fear

Fear of failure, fear of pain

Fear of losing, fear of judgement

Let fear motivate

Breaking through boundaries

Inspiring change

Be strong, curious and light

Be gentle and kind

Show compassion for self and others

For all that carries life

Everything is beautiful

Everything is connected

Share my energy and my love

Make a difference

The universe is listening

Am I?
