Kick and Flip

Flip                     4/20/2017



Even if loss
There is beauty
And even in rejection
There is laughter.

We see the good
Or the bad
Based on the heart
Turning over even defeat
Into sweet victory.

I didn’t know it then
But there were many things
Hidden from view
As I reacted without thinking
Either angry or sad.

I had to let go
Of many cherished things
And I had to swallow hard
Forcing down chunks of glass.

It hurt
And it hurts
But not every day
As I slowly learned
How to walk
And how to breathe. 

In time
All things fall
Into place
Once we learn
Who to ask.

It didn’t come fast
And it didn’t come easy
But in patience all is returned
And all is known.

Happiness happens
And we rejoice
In the smallest
Of victories.  

Comforted by the knowledge
That only comes with contentment
As we lay down in bed
At peace with the world
And at peace with ourselves. 

Turn it over
And see how it looks
Viewed from the other side
Where our choices matter
More than ever before.

We are the critical piece
And we alone possess the power
To change and grow
In life and love. 

Ask
And ask again
Because he who waits
Also knows.
