life turned
this way
life turned
that way,
but it always came back to You.
no other words but
thank You.
thank You for
holding me
when I couldn’t hold my own self.
I never had to.
I was in the palm of Your hand.
John 10:28
Keep
And here.
These are the moments that we’ll remember,
when we revisit the same sidewalks,
when we park our cars in the lots we used to run through,
carefree in the nighttime. No second thoughts.
We’ll remember the joy and sanity
of having no responsibility but to be happy.
These are the moments we’ll go back to
when we can’t remember why we need to go on,
or why it’s always worth speaking the things
on the tip of our tongue.
These moments of bliss and
leaning over the edges of our seats, laughing,
need to be kept in our pockets.
Pull them out on a needed day.
It doesn’t matter if we let them get away–
these moments are ours.
They happened,
and there is more to come.
So hold on to them.
