Trying

There is no failure,
if you're trying.
Trying to be
a little better than yesterday.
Trying to be
a little kinder.
Trying to act
a little more compassionate.
Trying to behave
a little more civil.
Trying to listen.
Trying to learn.
Trying to support.
Trying to be positive.
Trying to thrive
no matter the situation.
Trying to find
the ever-present silver lining.
Trying.
Just trying.
