What are these, these tears of joy?

Why do they cascade down like rain?

Why is my heart overwhelmed?

I can’t take it in, no, I can’t take it in.

Seeking and trying. Thinking…

What is this?

Confusion swirls. Questions haunt.

And through it all there is the ribbon of pain.

I thought it was gone. Oh yes, I thought it was gone.

But no, it’s still there, winding throughout.

I wonder, will it ever be gone.

Will it ever leave me?

I want to break free.

Raise my hands and dance.

I want to laugh.

Carefree and happy.

Is that to be this side of heaven?

Or have I hoped for something that can never be?

One step in the journey.

This time I take to ponder and to think.

One step on the quest.

Tomorrow will be a new day.

What shall it bring?

Only God and tomorrow know.

One deep breath

One carefree smile

Yes, I’ll make it through this time too.

There will be joy.

I’ve claimed it as mine.

This pain is not my master.

I serve the God of love.

In Him I trust and hope and breath free.
