Embracing Life’s Transitions

By Aljen Dela Cruz

In seasons rich with joyful blooms,
We dance to laughter, banishing glooms.
Yet shadows fall when trials appear,
A tapestry woven of hope and fear.
As domestic hands extend with grace,
Through bustling kitchens, a sacred space,
Each dish a story, each chore a song,
In toil and rest, we grow ever strong.
The winters bite with challenges’ sting,
But deep in the cold, resilience takes wing.
With every setback, a lesson unfolds,
In heartbeats of struggle, true courage molds.
Empowered by stories, both bitter and sweet,
From stormy tempests, we learn to compete.
Values shaped in the forge of our pain,
Are seeds of wisdom, like sun after rain.
Mental health sways like branches in gales,
Yet connection and laughter chart navigable trails.
With warmth from shared voices, we rise from the dark,
Finding strength in community, each flickering spark.
So we embrace each transition, each season’s embrace,
Carrying lessons in our hearts, an eternal grace.
For in this journey, through thick and thin,
Every challenge faced becomes where we begin.
Life’s transient beauty, our soul’s endless flight,
In celebrating each chapter, we reclaim our light.
Through seasons of change, we learn, we grow,
With open hearts ready for whatever’s to show.
