#PausesInLife

Life's a road, winding and long,
We drive so fast, we think we’re strong.
But speed breakers come, with a sudden thud,
They make us stop, they bring us to mud.

Struggles hit like bumps on the way,
Problems that force us to pause and stay.
When dreams feel heavy, and hopes seem far,
These speed breakers shine like a guiding star.

In the heat of troubles, we often forget,
To look around, to breathe, and reset.
Each challenge faced, each tear we cry,
Is a moment to learn, a chance to fly.

Like a river that slows when it meets a stone,
We find our strength, we’re never alone.
These pauses in life, though tough they may seem,
Are moments of wisdom, a chance to dream.

So when life pushes, and the road gets rough,
Remember these pauses, they’re part of the stuff.
They teach us to cherish, to love and to grow,
In the dance of life, it’s okay to go slow.

Embrace the struggles, let them slow your pace,
For in these pauses, we find our grace.
Life’s not just a race; it’s a journey so wide,
With speed breakers guiding us, side by side.
