Choices.

Appreciate what isn't there as well as what is. Just because you cannot see it, does not mean that it isn't there. It will return.

Only in the deepest heartache is when we come to know true happiness,

only on the cloudiest of days do we learn to appreciate the sun.

Only when we're alone do we appreciate the company we keep,

only when it's back do we realize it was gone.

Only in the cold do we talk about the heat,

only when it's silent do we wish for the voices.

Only when we're sad do we wish we had a hug,

only when we're stuck do we wish we had different choices.

Author's Note

I hope you all just take this in.

This is so true.We never truly appreciate what we have until we don't have it any more.

Beautiful!! You can't have light without dark; they compliment and complete each other. Without the defining character of one, we would not recognize the other, much less appreciate. Wonderful work, beautifully and simply penned.
