May your mornings be
a thousand times better than it was before
—less stress, a wider smile, and a brighter vision.
Look back to those dreams
with roads that double up life’s storms;
May there be more rainbows
to remind you of why flowers need rain.
Yesterday was painful,
but today,
please choose to move forward.
Hold on.
You are almost there.
