Cabin Fever Conversations With My New Friend
sometimes in the midst of life
i can sometimes be so lost in myself
i lose sight of such a beautiful treasure
while sleeping one day, God woke me up
He told me to take my blinders off and forget MY normalcy
choosing unselfishness, i ask about her children
choosing thoughtfulness, i ask about what else brings her joy
choosing to refocus, i ask about her other favorite things
choosing the inner enjoyment of it all, i just listen to the resulting anecdotes
learning from the overall conclusion, i Thank God for Intervening
the tears slowly flow when i realize that i never really knew my New Friend
consoling me, she begins to ask me the same questions
it is when i saw her tears flowing that i discover that i was not alone
our apologies are expressed by our newfound openness
our acceptance of each others' apologies comes when we ultimately forgive ourselves
the dust is now settled
all the smoke has been cleared
all eyes are now clear and dry
forgiveness has now bee officially confirmed
it is time to finally try the butterscotch sundaes, the white chocolate chip cookies, and the vanilla almond milk
