Fleeting Moments

As we journey through life,
We are often plagued with painful plights and sorrowful ordeals, for which we weep,
We often are surrounded by a vicious cycle of troubles, for which we cry,
And an unending path of difficulties seem to lie ahead of us, for which we sit in despondency,

But we are encouraged to hold on,
We are urged to drench our minds in thoughts of optimism,
We are implored to rid our lives of feelings of pessimism,
And to cling tenaciously to the strings of patience and the ropes of endurance,

For the challenges which to us, insurmountable seem;
These problems which in our lives unresolved, remain,
Are but fleeting moments, which pass away with the winds of patience,
They are but fading experiences, which are washed off by the springs of endurance,
And momentary incidences they will remain, the impact of which in the midst of perseverance, wane,
So hold on, your change is coming; your best days are still ahead.
