The wind whistles through the trees
and gently caresses my face.

I sit watching the sunset,
an array of bright reds, oranges, and pinks
streaking the sky.

As I visualize my future
I ponder my past.

In my future I see a bright array of colors
each one standing for success and
as I look back at the past
I see dark colors
but with each new day
these colors start to lighten.

The lightening of these colors
represents each new step of self-discovery.

Little things that I have discovered
have provided intense brightening in my world.

Each day brings a new challenge
that I must overcome
and together these obstacles
make me stronger
in every aspect of my life.
