Simple Improvements (A Poem) — 26/30 April Poetry Challenge

Dear Dallin,

So much has happened, it’s easy to still get stuck on the hamster wheel. There’s love in your heart, and your stress is real. We need to talk like bros — this pace cannot last. We need to get you out of this funk, fast, fast!

Commitment is about daily molding yourself for the greatness that’s still far.

It helps to remember that each day lately for you shines like a bright star.

Take a breath. Eat some honey, like Winnie The Pooh.

Take a deep breath. You’re like the rainbow in the sky — you know what to do.

You certainly don’t have to shine bright on every passing day.

Actions speak louder than words — say what you mean to say.

I see that your bed of distraction blocks the land to what you desire.

Get the sleep, sun, light, words, and comfort you need — bask in your life’s fire!

Each day is a treasure. The pirates chase it down until it’s found.

You embrace it, learn, then give it back to the earth — now it’s all in the ground.

Your eyes look afar, but check in on your brain.

It’s easy to get caught in a store, staring out the window at the rain.

Your choices were voices — they spoke for you — now you’re here.

Of a truth I can assure you — so much great is on the other side of fear.

What’s happening is beautiful — don’t miss out on the chance.

With some simple improvements you’ll go from Game Boy Color to Game Boy Advance.

Love,

Dallin
