Like Ships In the Night

We collided

Like ships

In the night,

A sad song

A sweet Melody
Life has a way

Of turning the tune

In the blink

Of an eye.

I could have

Been bitter

At the what happened

And could have beens

But I dug deeper

And found

The Faith

I had misplaced.

Broken and Bruised

Could have been my

Sad song,

But Redeemed

Was my

Victory.

I could

Have been
Angry

And bitter

But that wasn’t

My song

It wasn’t who

I was.

Faith and Courage

Were my name.

We collided like

Two ships in

The night

And something

Beautiful

Happened

What was once lost
Became found again.
