Keep your composure: Nothing is forever



In a world so dynamic, where nothing remains,
Forever fleeting, like passing rains.
No permanence to grasp, no lasting tether,
Life's ever-changing, let us remember.

However hard, however tough the strife,
Know that it too shall transform, bring new life.
So be wise and adapt to the shifting tide,
Embrace the challenges with strength inside.

But amidst the chaos, don't forget to be kind,
For compassion is a treasure, rare to find.
Spread love, bring warmth to hearts gone cold,
A gentle touch, a kindness untold.

And in the end, what truly matters most,
Is the goodness of soul, our innermost boast.
So let us nurture love, let it unfold,
For a beautiful soul is worth more than gold.

In this ever-changing world, let's strive to grow,
To learn, to evolve, and let our spirits glow.
Seek knowledge, chase dreams with relentless zest,
For in the pursuit of wisdom, we are truly blessed.

Let's cherish the moments, both big and small,
For life's tapestry is woven from them all.
Find joy in simplicity, embrace what's pure,
In laughter, in friendship, love will endure.

When faced with challenges, don't lose your way,
Have faith in yourself, and you'll find a brighter day.
For storms may rage, and shadows may loom,
But within you lies a strength that will conquer doom.

Be a beacon of light, a source of hope,
Extend a helping hand, help others cope.
For the bonds we forge, the connections we make,
Are the threads that weave together our shared fate.

So let us remember, as we journey through,
That kindness and love will always see us through.
In this dynamic world, where change is a constant guide,
May our souls be gentle, and in goodness reside.
