Life begins when you accept who you are
Bumps and lumps and all
When where you are isn’t where you would have chosen
Nor is it where you might expect to be
But in that puddle you splash and observe
You see WONDER where a mess could be
Because deep down low or way high above
Is a bigger picture of patience, faith, courage and most of all
love
And you’ll get there soon
just where you’ve been dreaming of:
By finding the flower amongst the weeds
Riding the wave
Not fighting the sea
Embracing the moment
Choosing joy, HoPe and love
And someday soon, when the toughest of the storms
recedes into the past,
(and it shall pass)
you’ll m-a-r-v-e-l at how far you’ve come.
