Our Conversation- a poem

I don’t usually repost, but during the holiday season, when both melancholy and joy are felt side by side, it seems relevant. I hope you find warmth and smiles while reflecting on your past year, and always feel comfort with your memories.

I dreamt I sat with God last night,

Amongst the countless stars.

We spoke of many things in all

And then I mentioned scars.

I thanked Him for the beauty and

The wondrous in life.

And then I asked Him why there is

A need for so much strife.

HE gently smiled and took my hand

Then whispered in my ear.

“That is a complicated question that

You ask of me, my dear.”

“FOR life is filled with choices,

And sadness comes along.

But I am here to lift you up

Whenever things go wrong.”

“AND when time comes, you join me,

Your scars will go away.

But in the meantime, just look up-

Then go and find today.”
