Look Up

I’ve battled my ego.

I’ve faltered with faith.

Struggled hard on my feet,

After falling flat on my face

They say you won’t see the top,

Until you’re feeling the bottom.

You see, it took for rain to pour down

Before flowers in the spring could blossom.

And for that I’m thankful,

Knowing it’s easy for me to forget.

And just know that I’m grateful,

That my life has seasoned a vet.

Because just when I reach for the stars,

I always look down.

Knowing it feels good to be up,

When I could be hitting the ground.
