What It Means To Have Truly Lived...



To lift up the burden of another while you trudge yours along.

To help another find company while solitude fastens itself around you.

To catch a sagging spirit while yours is barely grovelling in the basement.

To say a word of prayer with another while your litany of heart desires remain on queue.

To comfort the one who just lost a loved one while you had to bury your baby son in a box.

To ditch out refined hope while uncertainty looms over your life like a White tailed eagle.

To come off the phone with a friend who is contemplating suicide while having to cry yourself to sleep with your niggling depressing thoughts.

To preach the effervescent love of God while you can't seem to find him in your chaos.

To give your last bread to another with the maleovance assurances of lack going through your life with a fine tooth comb.

To help another find sleep while insomnia makes love to you all night.

To trudge into bed every night, beaten and tired from the strain of living. Yet, each morning when the alarm goes off, you find the last ounce of tenacity to pick yourself and go again, assured that if you just keep living, life will somehow break for you along the way. God is on your side!
