make me over..

this poem, for me, is about a combination of things:healing after loss, praying for open-mindedness, about not giving up on life & love intertwined..

...be gentle with me...

can you be genuinely gentle

 

i'm still a bit bruised,

but i am healing

 

i've even had hints of being happy again

there has been a smile upon my face

 

i must always remember...

life sometimes brings an end to things i think i want to last forever

 

i pray for the strength to be open to what life has to bring me

and to handle myself with care when something is in fact false

 

i want to be open;but i don't want to be stupid

i know life gives a little room for mistakes;there is actually nothing that God can't fix

 

so i pray:please show me wisdom...

...and please give me courage to step out on faith
