It Is Good To Smile - Poem

About a week ago, I started a new chapter in my education, when I began my first term at college. I am not going to lie and say that it was, and is an easy adjustment to make, because, quite simply, it is not. I have struggled there, getting used to my new surroundings, classmates, teachers and schedule and it has made me feel very down and stressed out.

However, with G-ds glorious kindness, I am now beginning to ever so slowly, find my ground and structure there, as well as, finding teachers and people, that I can trust, as well as, interact with safely. Please G-d, long may this continue and I will be able to enjoy my first term, witch will than hopefully branch out to the end of the academic year.

The following poem was inspired by a conversation I had with my headteacher right after I joined the college. When I described how worried and stressed I was regarding all the new changes, she told me, "once you find your ground and structure, you will see, you will start smiling." That comment has stuck with me, since and helped subconsciously to inspire the poem, which I hope will make you smile. :)

No, but seriously, why aren't you smiling yet?

Anyway,
Enough of that, please,
Here is the poem,

Enjoy,

It Is Good To Smile - Poem
Standing in the sunshine,
Feeling the warmth of the rays,
And the soft breeze in the air,
Taking a breath,
I look around me,
And I smile.

Walking down the pathway,
Seeing the leaves,
Like a rainbow,
On the ground,
Appreciating the beautiful colors,
I take another look around me,
And I smile.

Night has come,
Taking in the quietness of the streets,
As the cars come home,
And the drivers go to rest,
Thanking G-d for another great day,
I look around me, once again,
And I smile.

A smile may be a curve,
On the road of emotions called your face,
But, let me tell you,
It does set a lot of things straight.
