“Life’s a journey,” they say.
If that’s true, I feel off course.
Will I be bird food?
Nothing but an empty, bleached shell of my former self?
No. I’ll serve a purpose.
Dropped on concrete, an unusual sight.
Someone found me and smiled.
She’s learning to take notice of life.
When she lifted her head, I was there.
For her, I’m a reminder.
Change is necessary;
To stop changing is to die.
Though it’s scary, I’ll survive.
I’ll grow into my purpose,
And I’ll bear for her the message of grace.
““Life’s a journey,” they say.
If that’s true, I feel off course.”
Oh, I really like that part. I love the honesty of it. I wonder what we find in the off-course times. Maybe we find it is exactly where we needed to be?
So glad you’re participating!
i love the last line
