Perspective
In the storms of life, some things are only understood by letting go. What looks wrong to others and even to ourselves, may actually be the right thing to do. And what looks to be darkness, could be things being born new. Perspective and how we look at our challenges makes all the difference. I am grateful for the support and eyes on our family from all sides. When challenges come, it is sometimes hard to see, but I am grateful for a new perspective. It is a gift I will try to always remember.
Perspective
So dark and alone
By virtue of perspective
Gift was rejected
Where did we go wrong?
Went in faith, planets aligned
Choices supported
We went in faith but
Got slammed into a brick wall
Painful falling down
Mistrust the future
Perspective shifts everything
Wounds seen in new way
Rejection could be
Space to breathe, think, loosen, calm
Once heavy, alone
Still, supported, loved
Carried, prayed for all around
Learning step by step
Choice to see great loss
Kicked in the face rejection
Maybe turn the other cheek
Then give will freely
Let go, higher noble course
Nothing wavering
Force or given free
One destroys, one empowers
Choose love, lose to gain
Hold on to anger
Force looses permanently
So like bamboo, flex
Strong but supple, bend
To churning gale, don’t react
This storm will pass by
So sing in the rain
When disguised blessings come down
Lose the umbrella
Hope lost when struggle
Gained when let go, receive light
Eyes open to God
Our child also his
Then nothing is truly lost
The lessons will come
Faith says what is next
Remember God at the helm
Be patient and wait
You did your part, so
It’s no longer yours, release
Leave the rest to God
