Ok is not that everything is right
its learning to breathe through it
to notice the little magical things
dancing fireflies, butterflies
the reflections of light across the bed
or hear the birdsong
enjoy the warmth of a hug
or a particularly good bit of jello
maybe your toothpaste made a perfect Q
or your kid's goofy smile
It's putting one foot in front of the other
and continuing our journey
because the only destination we are sure of
is death someday
and that is ok
that is ok
Come and face 2025 with me
although we do not know what we will see
together, as this play unfolds
we will be hand in hand to behold
the wonderous, the beauty
the majesty of the roll-up scene
scary parts there will be too
and sadness that will rip your heart right through
but without the sadness, we can not see the full splendor of this majesty
how full healing is not a restoration of the pre-harmed state
but incorporates the lessons of the pain to create
stronger and more whole individual
how sadness can become the rebar in our concrete resolve
the concrete that will help us face whatever the future may bring
so come face 2025 with me
and we will watch
and we will see
