I can't believe the sun rose for me today
after setting on yesterday's troubles.
and the river still flows just as smooth as before after carrying off with my tears.
The grass still grows and it's greener than ever though last night i ripped it from dirt.
I've learned that the world doesn't stop for a soul,
no matter if your happy or hurt.

I wrote this poem because no matter how upset you may feel, when you feel like there is no possibility of things getting better, the next morning will always surprise you with a new sun and a new chance as if nothing had ever happened
