Rite De Passage
Rite De Passage
Written: by Tom Wright
Found this in an unfinished file from 2008
In each life come significant transitional events
That shape or alter our lives forever.
At times when we least expect it
We come face up with those
Destined to share our path;
At first we may think little of it,
But quickly we realize that their presence
Is no accident, but by Divine appointment.
I came near to rejecting this young lady
God had sent to me because of an
Unchristian like attitude I had at the moment;
But God, being all knowing,
Knew that I wouldn’t refuse her,
Lest He wouldn’t have brought her there;
Immediately, she became to me, my burden,
And often a disappointment,
For, to me, she was worthy of far more,
Than I thought life was giving her.
She now is such a joy and great friend
Who without knowing it has reached out
And touched our hearts;
