*thankfulness*
I've had moments of solitude and silence,
of deep thoughts and reflection.
I've had moments when I was too
prideful to ask for help,
and then I've had moments when I had to
literally beg God to show me
the direction in which He wanted me to go,
and He never failed to direct me to the Light.
There were times when I was afraid to
cross to the other side of adventure,
and there were times when I didn't
need a push at all.
There were days when I felt that
nothing could stand in my way,
and there were days when I felt the
last bit of fire I had within had
already burned out.
But through it all, I accessed the stairs of life
knowing I had people who always cared for me
and wouldn't leave my side whenever the river rose,
and that made me reach higher than ever before.
To have the promise of a lifetime
that certain chemistries will never die
is a promise that has shed light
about my spirit this year.
I'm thankful that it took the rain to make
me appreciate the blue skies and the
blue skies to appreciate the rain.
