And the word of God tells us that our suffering doesn’t compare to what is waiting for us in glory.

Wow, this is a magical and cathartic write dear Sara! As someone who has dealt with severe melancholy and grief, I can tell that having hope is one of the biggest challenges that comes in life.Yet, hope, faith and love are the nurturing forces for our hearts.Equally important as oxygen.I truly agree with this beautiful poem,if one really wishes, there's always a bright sunshine waiting for him/her in the end.Your aura definitely radiates empathy and kindness, dear poetess,I loved reading this :)

thanks, Lin, for visiting my site and for the words, "this too shall pass." How often my parents said that to me and how often I utter it to myself. Wise words. Have a wonderful Friday.
