Advice to My Son
By Pamela Schloesser Canepa

Even when your world’s
turned upside down
There is soil to plant a flower.
Even when change is hard,
Inside you have the power.
And when times seem the darkest,
There’ll be sunshine within the hour.

Yesterday I was young,
but a new day has begun.
Every day is youngest at its dawn
If I look ahead I can go on.
Yesterday has brought me here,
why would I deny it?
Yet, I can’t stop at yesterday,
Nor can I sit beside it.
Let’s sing a song of yesterday,
when we were fresher, younger,
then put such thoughts safely away,
and as new people, strive onward.
*I’ve joined the April A to Z Blogger’s Challenge! Can you believe it’s almost over? I’ve just about done it! Each day this month, I have written something based on the next letter in the alphabet. It’s been challenging and fun while giving me a chance to pause for reflection as well.
