Complaint

 Praying

To feel better

And be patient

As I recover

Time

The great healer

If I wait

Without complaint

Day

 Each day

A beginning 

To call your own

Do it

As often

As required

To recapture

The joy

You are seeking

Pray

 Pray

That I may 

Find peace

In the wait

Not grow weary

Or get impatient

Joy

 Settling into 

The new year

Finding joy

In the small

Ordinary pleasures

That are the greatest

Sources of joy

Thoughts on thoughts

 I’m learning 

Idols

And

Thoughts

So hard

To break

But

It needs

To be done

More than

I can say

Rock

 Be the Rock 

That doesn’t budge

Even when 

Limits are pushed 

And answers 

Are not

Within reach 

Modification

 New day

New year

New blessings

One of the best things to come out of the last year has been friendship. One of these new friends text me at five in the morning to text me that they were praying for me. I won’t go into the rest of the message, but for all the anger, sorrow and sadness in the world; this message started my New Year off right. I may not have as much as I’d like, or how I’d like it, but God.  God is teaching me to find the joy, savor it, and treasure the simple notion that you are important enough to be in someone’s heart and mind. 

This friend knows who they are, but what their friendship means is priceless. 

Find people

Who love

The real you

Who see

That you need
