You can still choose to smile,
even if you’re in pain.
You can still choose to enjoy the rain,
even when there are thunder and lightning within.
You can still choose to celebrate new beginnings,
even when you are at a great loss.
You can still choose to build someone’s dream,
even if your own is crumbling.
You can still choose to trust,
even if you don’t understand.
You can still choose to hold on to tomorrow,
even if you let go of today.
You can still choose to pray for someone’s happiness,
even if you knew you’re no longer part of it.
And…
you can still choose to love—the loudest,
even in your silence.
