The Turning Tides

The tides have turned in all of our lives.

Some have been good and some have been bad,

but with each turn, a sense of reality hits.

No tide is like another and every tide seems

to get a little stronger than another.

We begin to grow into someone we never knew

even existed inside of us.

Some tides make you want to cry because they

hurt but they also teach us a lesson.

Some teach us not to give up on life, others

that we have a lot to endure.

Then some will show us that we are strong

and some will show us where we belong.

Whatever turns the tide takes, just know that

you will be able to get through it and that

with it, you will learn something that will

stay with you always.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Well, a lot of changes have occurred to me and now i am a lot happier.  I feel like a lot of things have been lifted off my shoulder and I thought I should tell people what I had learned.  I hope you all enjoy this poem.  It may not be my best, but it is from my heart.
