When He Breaks You

When He breaks you It is to re-make you. If given the choice To give destiny your voice You would undoubtedly have picked this state Such is the irony of fate He breaks you now So you later see the how - How the pieces of your journey come to be A slow but eventual solving of this mystery He makes you work work work – then fail So that you realize your means are of no avail Without His will - But feel His mercy fill - Even through the aches still He punctures your bubble of hope To teach you the meaning of struggling to cope To avoid you saying ‘this was all from me’ Which you might say if it always did come so easy He lets you fall So that when you stand It’s straight and tall Your past sorrows Not letting you drown Without your ego Weighing you down Even while the road appears smooth He lets you trip and trip again So that you might stumble upon hidden treasures From the dirt, which you may otherwise not gain In essence, He knows Best The perfect Teacher Who puts the perfect test - Truly, He breaks you To re-make you… Better.
