Resilience
Resilience is hard to think
about when worry abounds
and the more time that passes
the more ominous things seem
for our good friend who is still
right now and so much is
unresolved despite prayers
from many sources. God,
please help our friend.
But we have to keep living
and laughing and walking on
she would want us to do that
each of us continuing though
she for now lingers not yet
knowing her fate. Every cell
of her body is yet hopeful,
waiting for the awakening,
the miracle, though her mind
does not yet know. God
please tell her. Awaken.
We each have our journeys
intertwined with one another
yet on an individual course
never know what the day
will bring, what our own
fate will be beyond this moment
but we must be resilient bounce
back from what life gives us not
be beaten down even though
some days it is especially hard
as what fate has handed one of us
could be that of any of us
but life cannot stand still
must go forward and despite
uncertainties we must
find joy in resilience. God,
please help us all.
With you on this one Mary - true and beautiful poem May G-d help us all indeed.
ReplyDeleteThis just rips at my heart, Mary. I feel the same way. God please help our friend, please help us all.We each have our journeys that entertwine but some journeys we can't go along. This is so true and sad too. I continue to pray for our friend.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying reading all your poems here that I missed seeing (here) in the past couple of weeks. Your Dolly poems are particularly touching.
