Wait…She Said

Wait.. She said

Life isn’t always

Going to be easy

And the greatest pains

Aren’t physical

They are the ones

That burrow

Down into

The soul.

But look around

And you can see

The beauty too

A child’s laughter

The birds singing

Beauty in moments

And breath.

Wait…She said

I’m not done

You’ll see ugliness

In this world

And pain that

May break you

But always

Leave a place

A little better

Than when

You came

Let your presence

Be a gift

That shines

Through.
