Writing is Healing

It heals my heart to write about both the hurts, 
and the joys of my life,

After 33 years, I quickly am a widow, no longer a wife,

But too, I have become a grandparent,

The dichotomy here is quite apparent,

As everyone does, I have highs and lows,

But peaks and valleys, as everyone knows,

Is a part of life, and I purpose that . . .

I can’t really appreciate the mountaintop,

If I’ve never fallen down like a raindrop,

Romans 5:4 states:

Sufferings build perseverance,

Perseverance builds character,

Character builds hope,

Romans 12:12 says: Be joyful in hope,

Patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer,

So, like a domino effect, the chain reaction is clear,

Our sufferings, ultimately produce hope, without fear,

A joyful hope, that coupled with patience and prayer,

Can get us through anything, anywhere,

Writing is healing,

I encourage you to write what you are feeling.
