Blueberry Season Poem by Lauren Coles

Tissues are not your friend,
Everyone walks a different path,
People have to decide whether to stay in the rain storm or make happy music while they jump in the puddles,
People might lose a job and they don't want to look to the next chapter of the unwritten story,
People can't have it both ways
People can't stop drinking unless you go to the meetings with complete strangers,
You might feel particularly shy about starting something new with people that you don't know,
Talking about feelings is better than letting the emotions control the rain storm that is coming down around you,
You don't want to be the next headline that everyone else is talking about at school.
Love the sun after a rainy day,
Don't be afraid to ask the sun for help because it will make the blueberry season go away.
