Go Forward!

Her world unraveling 

Twisted overturned paradigms

All finally fell into place

Unstuck at last

She paced herself

To take the ultimate step. 

It was time to go

Go forward

And let go of the weights 

The could-have-beens

That never were

Really there for her. 

She cleansed the mirrors

Of her mind

Till she could see through

Right into her soul

Her only source of strength 

Her Lord, her Father, her all. 

Yes, it was gut wrenching

It tore her world apart

But she always believed

Facing the truth 

Is the only way

There was no place for lies.  

Though knowing the truth tore her heart

It also helped her heal

It was her only support

As she built the new foundation

That would carry her through

For the rest of her life. 

Be strong

Be of good courage

Hold on and move forward

Go where you have to

So you can complete your race

Victorious.
