A Pointed Smile – 30th April 2025

Shared with Momoetry April Poet Month challenge – finish. Inspired by the real-life struggles of a 16-year-old student, I reminded her to look at this situation with the positive spin that she usually can muster but cannot see right now. I remember that feeling, though I was never able to muster any positivity at the time.

One day, it will be gone and done,

a pointed smile towards the sun;

we made it to the end.

The trials and suffering, done and gone,

never slept on, always kept on;

well done, yourself, my friend.
