Lessons Through You

by Sara Jean Hotz

Life is about freedom

Freedom, to be yourself

Cultivate experiences worth savoring

Savor, the foods that make you hum with each bite

Speak your truth

Truth, is in those who trust themselves

Get lost in what makes your soul dance

Dance, simply because it is joyful

Indulge in what nourishes your mind

Mind, only those who are dear

Hold close, the ones who make you feel understood

Understand, the rarity you have to offer

Hope can be found even through loss

Loss, makes room for new growth

There will be heartbreak, tragedy

Tragic, to believe you are to bear it alone

Life is demanding, but we do not have to suffer

Suffering, is in our interpretation

The devastation we all face is a reflection of the beauty

Beauty, balances our pain

Embrace what gives your body love

Love, lives within you

Find positivity even if just a glimmer

Glimmering, eyes will lead you

and your eyes,

have been my muse
