Roots and Wings

Its almost been a year since I've written.. It seems whenever I take a break I always jump start with a poem.

I will never forget how blessed I really am. Or the pain in the 7 year struggle it took to reach here. I've been broke down, but there was always a hope that I often didn't know I had...and always

 Psalm 37:4

"I am reminded"

As I sit here with you

I'm reminded of the sorrow,

in the struggle

Oh, my joy is greater for it.

Here you are a Tree

grown from a River.

I'm reminded of 

shadows in the dark,

hope in the light.

A reflection somewhere

deep inside. 

What I've lost 

What I have.

A fighter will bear a fighter

you were worth all the tears

it took to hold you.

I've loved, I've lost

and beyond me

here you are.

I am reminded

Rivers run free,

Trees stand strong.

I take comfort in the revalation

I have them both

A baby that can plant roots,

one that has wings.

You will know of all the beautiful things
you will know of His endless hope.
