Heavy
There are times that life feels heavy and hard
A loved one is struggling, the grief you are living with
becomes big and ugly, work seems harder than usual,
but if you focus on the good, the weight seems managable
My own illness, my sister's sudden illness, the shadow
of death that looms larger at times, how do you move on
from dark to light? Embracing the peace that the Prince of Peace
offers, taking the hand of a friend offering help and simply living life
No one has all the answers, but if you see someone whose smile
seems off, but they are working and doing their best,
encourage them, smile at them, and know that this is someone
who is living life under some heavy weight, yet keeps moving forward.
