Strengthening around Brokenness

I wish I take from you the hurt

The pain that YES I feel it too. 

And yet I have no idea how you are inside. 

I wish I could show you how beautiful you are.

You are a prime example of strength and courage!

Yet it's too much for you.

And then it's too much for me.

All I wish for is truth.

And yet I also wish for my mother. 

My father is gone.

And a part of my mother left with him.

Sadness ripples in waves that I do not understand.

How does a family return after a death?

How is it possible to find joy again?

The strength I see in my mother is there.

Yet anger fills the room

like a wave of fire. 

My family has fallen.

I have fallen with them.

Life is not linear

Life is not black and white.

Life has become a painting I cannot comprehend.

Yet underneath all of it my family

gives me hope.

My father was my hope.

Now hope is my lifeline.
