Strength

Head up She gazes through blue eyes Face wet with tears Her heart breaking Hands shaking She makes a choice Of confidence Not in herself Not in another But confidence in the goodness of God Head up She breaths deeply Letting go of the past with each exhale Heart still shattered Hands still shaking She makes a choice Of forgiveness Even her enemies are God’s beloved Head up You’ve never seen this before She rises And rises more This is what she’s been waiting for Heart still sore Hands still shaking She makes a choice The only one left to make Head up Strength is what you’re looking at Blue eyes red with tears Breathing ragged Never a steady hand Still she moves forward One painful step at a time Lean in, and listen to her whisper... I AM confident in the GOODNESS of my Father, and I. Do. Not. Give. Up.
