My life has been a roller coaster lately as we deal with my mom's health issues. Today's writing came from examining struggles and blessings. This is what came about.
Life’s Journey
Scrolling through the posts I watch summer journeys unfold.
I dream that one day I may be able to venture out into this
world.
It is a world where others journey to far away places.
It is a world where families visit theme parks or beaches.
For now I have my own journey.
Some days I feel like I am climbing mountains.
Some days I feel I am sinking in mud.
These days are hard, yet I embrace them.
I am grateful for each of these days.
Each day is one more day I get to spend with you.
Each day is one more day to encourage you.
Each day is one more day to say I love you.
When I was young your dream journey was put on hold.
I’m sure you felt like you were climbing mountains.
Some days you may have felt like you were sinking in mud.
Yet you joyfully embraced them all.
Growing up you knew was hard.
It was full of ups and downs.
They were journeys you gladly took with us
They filled your mother’s heart.
Now I take this journey with you.
Some days are filled with ups and downs.
I joyfully walk them with you.
Your strength and tenacity fill my heart.
You show the world your strength.
You show the world your love.
Most importantly you show the world how to live.
For that we are truly blessed.
