Live with Hope and Faith

This is for all those who are trying to survive whatever traumas they've been put through. Please take care and be gentle with yourself. Healing takes time, space, compassion, forgiveness, self-care and self-love. Blessings. Live with Hope and Faith By Michelle Morris 27/02/2024 Look at the girl with the sunny smile That girl with the saddest eyes She does such a great job at helping everyone else And yet she's always alone when the bough breaks You'd never suspect that her heart's breaking You'd never imagine she needs saving But having courage and being strong Is sometimes not a choice of our own Every single day that tumbles into another year She survives and grows through her tears Every single trauma and heartbreak Reminds her to live with Hope and Faith Life can be funny, life can be strange Life can be beautiful, life can be framed We have experiences, we collect memories We have a mortal body, a soul for eternity And every person gets to choose To live their dreams and their truths Or to live in fear and limitations It all depends upon our orientation But sometimes Fate and Destiny Have different paths for you and me Our Love and Light gets fully tested To focus us on Grace and Mercy Look at the girl with the sunny light That kind girl with the wisest eyes She is always there when they need her And yet she's alone through endless seasons You'd never suspect that her heart needs more You'd never imagine she needs to be adored But having strength and resilience Is developed through endless independence Every single year that tumbles into another decade She thrives and flows through her Grace Every single situation and sadness Reminds her to use her gifts with gladness © Michelle Morris, 2024

Dear Michelle, Wow, this is the resilience and strength that lies within us, even in the face of adversity. The juxtaposition of the girl with the sunny smile and the saddest eyes beautifully captures the complexity of human emotions and experiences. Your words convey a message of empowerment and self-love, urging us to embrace hope and faith as guiding forces in our journey of healing and growth. A very heartfelt piece of wisdom and encouragement. Blessings, Daniel
