“I choose to be happy, despite my struggles and I choose it every day.” Miller
Shine Through the Clouds by Miller Laffoon
Life gives me two distinct choices,
From them both I must decide.
Will I crash like the waves listening to negative voices,
Crash like the waves hearing the world’s deafening noises,
Or will I sail into the horizon and thrive?
It is simple to stay docked with the comfort of the shore,
It is harder to choose to sail with the wind,
The sea is intimidating, while standing stagnant is a bore.
Life is a series of opened and closed doors,
Dwelling is my enemy, gratefulness is my friend.
Each morning I rise, and to myself I must say,
“Which voyage will I embark on when I wake?
Will I sit with my troubles and lose my way
Or hoist my sails and seize the day?”
It is a choice only I can make.
I will cry out with my head held proud.
The choice to sail is the choice I will choose.
I might seem silent, but my words ring loud,
Like the sun, I will shine through the clouds,
In the choice to be happy, one cannot lose.
I like your choices.
