young
everything in between and old
face challenges
because life is hard
wrestling with new circumstances
fighting off the elements
or facing our inadequacies
it’s all hard
the sweetness of a day
momentarily interrupts the savagery
nestle into those pockets of goodness
because life is nothing if not hard
accept the consequences of living
ride out those storms
and delight in the journey
but hold fast, there will be bruises
