Within

When someone tries to dim your light

Remember - there is a sun in you.

As long as it will shine, you’ll be alright

No shadows can ever break through.

 

And when it hurts to breathe -

Close your eyes and slowly exhale.

To the world you may seem naïve,

But the truth will always prevail.

 

Give it a day, give it a year,

Its nature cannot stay hidden for long.

Although is easy to be ruled by fear

                                                        of the unclear

Just remember you are precious - you are strong.

 

Face the world with joy

And you will feel it’s warm embrace.

Be your own hope, not your enemy’s toy

And you’ll find happiness shining ablaze,

 

Where it always has been.

The only thing we really have control over in this life is how we deal with things, how we survive the bad and relish the good.
We have to make the best of whatever situation....if we cry over problems...happiness becomes more expensive.

Words that I needed to hear today~ first and most I must point out your brilliant title. it's all "within" us. our divine essence is ALWAYS there, here and now. if we are lost in this world it doesn't mean we don't have or that we are imperfect, it's a three dimensional world, all kind of trials and troubles happen within it. this line stands out for me too, "Give it a day, give it a year", surrender and let it be... it will come to You eventuality. Thank You for sharing your uplifting words my dear, May Peace, Joy and Love ever be in your heart❤️
