Light

I reach out to the light before me And I rise gracefully from the ground My spirits lifting with me My relief folding me like a blanket. I fell from the ladder face up Grasping the air with my hands And then… I realize that I can look up I can believe again Pull myself from the floor Polished with troubles and loss. As I reach for the ladder I am determined to start again Because I have Him in my life And He won’t let me stay on the ground for long.
