Poem, Open the Door to Life

My day job is an Executive Coach and I work with individuals to break through barriers and make positive changes in their life. Recently I have coached a few people who are doing just that, they are now ready and willing to face the stormy waters to eventually get to the calm sea ahead. The weather may be changeable and challenging at times but by riding the huge waves, it makes us stronger from within. Real change happens from the ‘inside out’, start there first. This indeed inspired this next poem.

Open the Door to Life

What’s stopping you, from dancing in the rain?

What’s keeping you, from moving away from the pain?

The clouds will move on, the sunshine will appear

Uplifting your spirits and filling you with cheer

Just take a moment, to treasure all you’ve got

I bet when you really think about it, you have such alot

Open the door to life, let the fresh air in

Don’t let the bumps on the road, keep you from a win

For there comes a time, when enough is enough

Lift your head high and challenge the rough

Soon you’ll be amazed, what you can achieve

Smile with an open heart and really do believe

dont give up hope never despair
life is a test with hardships to bear
when you least expect something good will happen too
then life will change and so will you .

    Hi Kevin, I am so delighted that these poems inspire a connection in you which then in return inspires another connection in me…the snowball effect…I shall write a poem about that next. Thank you again for helping me and helping others. Clarabelle
