IF

If I were not myself, I'd be a river wide,

Flowing freely, with a gentle, soothing tide.

My heart would be a mountain, strong and high,

My soul, a forest, where wisdom whispers by.

My mind, a sunset, painting the evening sky,

My spirit, a breeze, that rustles, and sighs.

If I were not a dreamer, I'd be a morning dew,

Refreshing all, with a gentle, pure hue.

My passions would be wildflowers, blooming free,

My courage, an eagle, soaring wild and carefree.

My will, a tree, with roots that dig and stand,

My hope, a rainbow, bridging the land.

If I were not resilient, I'd be a sea shell worn,

Weathered by waves, yet still, a story born.

My strength would be a rock, unshaken and true,

My spirit, a lighthouse, guiding others anew.

My heart, a garden, nurturing life below,

My soul, a star, shining bright, in the evening glow.

If I were not mentor , I'd be a moonlit night,

Shining bright, with a gentle, silvery light.

My heart would be a rose, blooming in the rain,

My soul, a river, flowing to eternal plains.

My mind, a sky, with stars that twinkle and guide,

My spirit, a wind, that whispers through the trees inside.

If I were not what I am, I'd be a morning sun,

Rising high, with a radiant, golden fun.

My passions would be flames, burning bright and true,

My courage, a lion, roaring loud and anew.

My will, a mountain, standing tall and strong,

My hope, a rainbow, shining all day long.

If I were not soft as I am, I'd be a lotus flower,

Blooming in mud, yet pure, in every hour.

My strength would be an oak, roots deep and wide,

My spirit, a phoenix, rising from the ashes inside.

My heart, a haven, sheltering from life's storm,

My soul, a beacon, shining forever warm.

If I were not unique, I'd be a snowflake rare,

Delicate, yet perfect,  beyond compare.

My individuality, a butterfly's wings,

My authenticity, a river's gentle, springs.

My quirks, a landscape, with hills and valleys,

My self, a masterpiece, crafted by nature's  tide.

 “Be Brave”

When fears creep in and doubts arise,

Be brave, and let your spirit realize,

That strength lies within, like a shining light,

Guiding you through life's darkest night.

With every step, with every fall,

Get up, and stand tall,

For bravery is not the absence of fear,

But facing it, with courage clear.

In the face of adversity's might,

Stand firm, and hold on tight,

To the hope that guides you through the storm,

And leads you to a brighter form.

Don't let the shadows of doubt prevail,

Be brave, and let your heart set sail,

For on the other side of fear and pain,

Lies a dawn that breaks, with joy and gain.

When the world outside seems cold and grey,

Be brave, and find your inner way,

For in the depths of your soul, there's a fire,

That burns bright, and never tires.

With each challenge, with each test,

Be brave, and do your best,

For in the act of courage, you'll find,

A strength that's born, and forever aligned.

So let your heart be bold and free,

Be brave, and wild, and carefree,

For in the bravery of your soul,

Lies a beauty that makes you whole.

And when the journey ends, and the day is done,

Be brave, and look back, and have won,

For in the bravery of your heart,

Lies a story that will never depart.

"Nature's Guidance"

When shadows fall, and darkness grips,

I seek your counsel, ancient trees' gentle lips.

"Stand tall," they whisper, "like us, you'll weather,

Storms will pass, and sunshine will gather."

The river's voice, a soothing melody,

"Flow with life, don't let pain solidify.

Let go, like water, and move ahead,

Your strength will grow, as your heart is fed."

The wind carries words, on gentle breeze,

"Breathe deep, dear one, and find release.

Your spirit's strong, like mountains high,

Resilience born, in every sigh."

The sun's warm touch, on skin so dear,

"Shine bright, your light, will banish fear.

Hope revives, with every new dawn's rise,

A chance to start, with opened eyes."

The stars appear, like diamonds bright,

"Twinkle within, and shine your light.

Your worth's not measured, by darkest night,

You're a spark, in the universe's delight."

Nature's wisdom guides me, through the pain,

Reminding me to live, to love, to gain.

With every breath, I find my way,

Through shadows dark, to a brighter day.
