Comforting: Poem

 Comforting: Poem

To thrive in life

We need three bones –

A wish bone, a backbone, 

And a funny bone.

With other words –

To dream, to stay strong,

And to find time to smile.

Do not take yourself

To seriously, said the elf.

Never clip your wings.

You need your feathers

To fly high to the planets.

It is time to ripe

To thumb your nose for demons 

For the last time.

Complexes, guilt, and fears

Of all kinds are gone

Which is fine.

Please do not estimate yourself. –

You are the most powerful elf.

Every cup of morning coffee

Has the wishbone of quiet moment.

Crafting the brew worth savoring

For the backbone.

Every morning is deserving
