Life is not just about what we’ve lost

Life can sometimes feel like a list of losses,

Dreams you held, but didn’t strive to make real.

Promises you made, but failed to keep,

Emotions you felt, but didn’t dare reveal.

Times you said “Yes” when “No” was what you meant,

Or “No” when “Yes” was what you truly felt.

Love that you let slip from your grasp,

Friendships cherished that yet stung like a wasp.

But in the midst of all this regret and pain,

Do not forget the blessings you have known.

The joy, the love, the memories you’ve made,

And the promise of new adventures yet unknown.

For life is not just about what we’ve lost,

But also about the wonders we’ve gained.

So embrace each moment, as it comes,

With hope and gratitude in your heart sustained.
