"Rising Above the Stress "

A stressful day, a heavy load,

I feel like I'm about to explode,

My mind is racing, my heart's pounding,

And every little thing is compounding.

The tasks before me seem too great,

And I can't seem to concentrate,

The pressure builds, my nerves are shot,

I wonder how much more I've got.

But in the midst of all this stress,

I find a way to calm and bless,

Myself with thoughts of peaceful things,

Like flowers, birds, and butterfly wings.

I take a breath, I close my eyes,

And try to visualize,

A world where stress can't reach me,

And everything is peaceful and free.

I know this day won't last forever,

And with each breath I take, I'm clever,

For I can find some peace in me,

And rise above the stress and see,

That life is full of ups and downs,

And sometimes we feel like we'll drown,

But in the end we always rise,

And find the strength to reach the skies.

So though this day is tough and hard,

I'll face it with a strong regard,

And know that I will make it through,

For there is nothing I can't do.
