As Is

A special thank you goes out to King Jamma for the inspirational song entitled...
"Say, Less"...

Through each tear ... there is a smile ...
Pretending, Smizing, and Lying ... Running into darkness ...
Adding on to the list of problems ... Adding and subtracting ... 
Just to find out that the next number on your list was just another day
of denial.
Holding on to the storms is your everyday norm ...
Praying to God daily ... Asking for forgiveness ... While wondering ...
What else could go wrong?
Wanting to let go is never far away from one's mind ...
Apologizing for ...
Unforeseen signs ... Left behind ... As markers ...
Timelines and symbols of all kinds ...
Hoping, wishing, and praying that somehow; someone can rescue
you ...
By reading the clues of what you left behind ...
And in time ... The seeds of love, hope, and faith ...
Rained through the darkness ... and the sun began to shine...
Because you "Said less and prayed more" ... And eventually your storms began to fade once your message got to heaven's door ... And
through the power of God ...
You noticed your wars, turmoil, and storms were no more ...
For God is your strength while in the storm ...
Your light in the darkness and your teacher for lessons unseen ...
And at the end of the day ...
It is ... "AS IS"
The End ...
