I have a family,
People love me and want to help me,
At times I do not want their help,
"I have already done this, what makes you think I can't do it again?"
At times when I pray I get so angry, and God just listens and when the sun comes up and
it
is
a new day full of His mercy, I realize how foolish I was.
I pray that I will not be bitter,
for I have no reason to be.
My brother is sick, my family is worn out and I don't know what to do next,
I say these things and try to convince myself that I have a right to be angry when, in reality...
My brother is being taken care of,
My other siblings have sun on their faces and are getting along.
My Daddy has a job
My Mommy is well and able to take care of my brother,
who,
really shouldn't even
be
here
and
nor
should
she.
There are roses on the window sill,
clothes in the washing machine,
corn in the garden,
can goods in the pantry,
left overs in the fridge from loved ones,
supper waiting for us at an aunt's house,
and a host of brothers and sisters in Christ praying for us.
I.
am.
loved.
As I was washing dishes,
putting clothes in the dryer,
baking a cake for my family,
and wiping down the counter tops,
I realized God has given me,
Strawberry lips shining in the summer sun.
Canary tips glowing there for everyone.
You fell asleep under the cherry tree.
La la la la la la, it's a beautiful world and we're all here.
Your winter skin warming in the summer sun.
You know within you will stay forever young.
You fell asleep under the starlit sea.
It's time to wake up.
The moon is high above you.
We're all here cause we love you.
And when you finally open your eyes and ears,
you'll see and you'll hear us sing.
La la la la la la, it's a beautiful world and we're all here.
