It’s freezing six degrees today, cold winter weather.
Will you let this bring you down?
Remember, you’re the king of your self; you’re the one wearing your crown.

Sometimes even our life is damp.
Snowballs will be thrown on your kingdom.
You’re defenseless; good intentions are to be buried six feet below the ground.
People you once loved will join forces and tatter your gown.
Mockery full of scheme, throwing away good old times.

I only smile, I don’t cry, no hatred in my heart,
As I do understand that even horizons have dark clouds.
Sometimes the mind is full of fog.
That’s called the art of understanding.

Don’t be tired with a heart full of love running through your veins,
While you are given the chance to hold the life’s reins.
Don’t let go for the positive tomorrow.

A poem is good as long as the reader interprets it positively.
It will be gloomy if you interpret it negatively.
Spread motivation if you see the goodness of its creation.
As we navigate in this so cold life, we have choices about taking directions.

Right now, sit with me over a cup of coffee.
Represent the warmth of love, a gift from above.
We are the recipients; it’s up to us if we are willing to grab.
