There’s always a silver lining,<\/p>\n
be it shrouded in pain.<\/p>\n
Every loss brings a gift of gain,<\/p>\n
A perspective not often shared.<\/p>\n
Sightedness depends not on eyes<\/p>\n
But rather, on soul vision<\/p>\n
Sound waves hitting our ears<\/p>\n
Don’t always ring true<\/p>\n
It’s that intuition in me and you<\/p>\n
It’s the truth that’s planted deep<\/p>\n
In our psyche to keep us alive<\/p>\n
Alive in our spirit asking questions<\/p>\n
Questions too huge to answer till<\/p>\n
We are ready to see false truth<\/p>\n
For what it is.<\/p>\n
Till we are ready to acknowledge<\/p>\n
Lies when confronted.<\/p>\n
Who do I trust?<\/p>\n
Why do I trust?<\/p>\n
How do I know I can trust?<\/p>\n
If faced with a heavy loss, what then?<\/p>\n
Will I think my usefulness at an end?<\/p>\n
No, not I. My future is bright and hopeful.<\/p>\n
My end is just my beginning.<\/p>\n
It is the release from dependence<\/p>\n
On who I am, what I can do, from me, my, mine.<\/p>\n
It is the culmination of the new birth<\/p>\n
In understanding everything and needing<\/p>\n
Nothing more than Jesus.<\/p>\n
