Grandma s Wisdom

In a cozy nook by the fireside’s glow,
A grandmother whispered, soft and slow,
“My dear granddaughter, a heart so bright,
Let me share some wisdom, before night takes flight.

Life is a journey, a twist and a turn,
Yet many get caught in the worries they churn.
They ponder each problem until it expands,
Transforming small troubles to giants unplanned.

Do not let your mind weave a tale of despair,
For each little hiccup can float in thin air.
When sunshine peeks through, let it light up your day,
Don’t twist the good moments 'til they fade away.

The dance of your thoughts can be both a delight,
But beware, sweet one, of the dark that ignites.
For while pondering's fine, don’t drown in its sea,
Or you’ll miss the sweet joys that life offers free.

Gazing too hard at the paths that you tread,
You might find yourself lost in the thoughts in your head.
So breathe in the moment - let your spirit roam,
Life isn’t a puzzle; it’s a place to call home.

Remember, my child, happiness blooms
In the chaos of laughter, in the love that consumes.
So tread lightly, dear heart, through the gardens you make,
And cherish each moment - no need for a break.

Trust in your journey, let go of the fight,
For the life that you wish for is just out of sight.
Be bold in your choices, embrace the unknown,
In the tapestry woven, let your true self be shown.'

With a gentle embrace, the old woman smiled,
And the granddaughter pondered, her heart newly wild.
For in the warmth of love, she found wisdom’s grace,
To live in the moment, her own sacred space.
