Crushed Sweetness – A Poem

      Discouragement can come easily when things don’t pan out.  A certain job didn’t work out, a relationship didn’t blossom as you expected, your expenses exceed your monthly income.  And although these situations can be challenging, daunting, or frightening even; we must remain mindful that trouble don’t last always.  And to take it a step further, one shouldn’t endure tumultuous situations without gaining something valuable in return.  Within every hardship lies a lesson.  A lesson that may teach how to avoid similar circumstances, or experiences.  Perhaps a lesson in living within one’s means, or choosing healthier relationships and friendships.  So don’t sweat the small stuff, learn from it, it’s just a little crushed sweetness.  But it’ll only make you stronger as you grow and migrate to much brighter pastures.
