rising –

 

like an ascending bubble

in an attempt to escape the

inevitable.

 

 

expectant –

impatient –

 

all the while seeking

tranquility from without and within.

 

 

coping –

at times, near crumbling –

 

a continual battle of

conflicting emotions

 

 

yet,

hope  remains

as does an undeniable strength –

 

these, her constant companions.

We need something other than ourselves to cling onto Dawn when the going gets tough, and by golly I know all about the going getting tough.

Converse daily with the King of Kings within yourself and you will find solace and a marked difference in your mindset.

Stick to it.

As long as hope and strength remain as constants, then love will bloom again, both inside and out. Faith, hope and love are yeast in the dough. Nice rising! :)) xx

She is certainly blessed to be
in possession of these gifts, hope
and strength. Without them, the
challenges of this life would
be overwhelming. Well done!
