Retribution Or Redemption?

Life can cause us pain.
The chapters of life vary.
There are lessons here.

No one escapes them.
Every challenge teaches us
Where to start again.

Our childhood lives on,
We rebel and we resist.
Change is not easy.

Mistakes remind us 
Of momentary lapses,
We have created.

Life provides balance.
There are highs and there are lows,
But joy does exist.

Keeping our focus
Demands a steady heartbeat,
Keeping us alive.

Redeeming arms reach,
Touching us at finger tips.
Safe retribution.
