I am glad that there is love in the world and that there are compassionate people in the world. when we go through valleys of dust, it is nice to know there are people willing to travel through the dust to bring you water, people willing to stand on the other side of the valley and wait for you to emerge so they can provide you with food and clothing. Best, there are people willing to find you in the valley and, if you are not ready or unable to emerge, willingly abide with you so that do not have to go through the valley alone.
when life takes you to the valley
filled with nothing but
bones and stones and dust
when the sun rides high in a
pastel blue sky
and the heat beats
hard upon your brow
may a friend track you,
following your footsteps
til she finds you
may she bring
coolness to dry your brow
water to quench your thirst
food to satisfy your body
may she bring an ear for your troubles
a shoulder for you to lean on
a smile to heal your soul
may you walk strong through the valley together
may you find moments to dance
and opportunities to laugh
may you ... together
keep your footing and fight through storms
combat the heat and avoid cutting stones
may you weather it all, persevere 'til the end
and emerge from the valley
victorious with your friend
Beautiful "Emerging victorious. . ." Thank you. <3
