Please Forgive Weakness It Makes Us Strong

So we all face the weepy songs, throat clogged just because its blue month with the rain running down. So our stomachs quiver and we can’t quite turn the doorknob, enter in to the late arrival complaints. We forget them, next morning when the sun is strong and our legs move us and our heart soars to sky. And the breaking times, all alone, no one who understands when nothing fits and we can’t figure out what went wrong, we all have them sometime in our life, when our closest teddy bear is a pillow smashed and covered with tears. We set aside those memories, never going there again, parent or child who died, suicide on mind that we recognize in seeing you and hold you against the time you will reject because even when we forget, we remember, all the deaths and paint them yellow, plant the daisies, turn on brass joyous refrains because having endured, we are strong.

A very touching piece Sheri. Life can be so sorrowful so often. I pray your sorrow be lifted and replaced with God's Glory. So many know and deeply feel such pain. Take good care!
