Just Be Glad
by
Heather Nicole Luther
Have you ever thought back to something
That really made you cry?
And did you spend the whole time after that
Only wondering why?
But I really think that everyone knows that sometimes
Things happen in life that we simply cannot change,
And all these things differ between people
In such an extraordinary range.
Some people want to forget about
All the bad things that they’ve seen,
But even though they want to block it out
They always wonder what it means.
Others try to cover up
Old relationships that they had,
They simply don’t want to remember them
No matter if they were good or bad.
Also, people want to put behind them
All the losses in their life,
They also try to forget about
All their pain and all their strife.
Some of us try to hide our feelings
Somewhere deep and out of reach,
They push their memories way deep down
And they miss out on the lessons they teach.
So many people think that all obstacles
They experience are punishments for their wrongs,
But really they are there all along
Just to make you strong.
If you’ve ever thought about stuff like this
That you have forever kept it hid,
Never regret anything that happens
But just be glad it did.
