The Unknown

 THE UNKNOWN

I gave thanks today for the light tapping at my window

I felt the warmth of the rebirth

And When I opened my eyes to greet the day

I felt my self worth

God gave me a Mother with passionate love

She learned her craft through God’s son

Problems knock on my front door

And fear sometimes consumes my soul

But I pray to find strength

In order to tackle the unknown

When I falter and the earth shakes

Family is always there to guide the way

When the rocks crack and open to expose the core secret

I learn from the scars that God left behind

Through the valleys and canyons and hieroglyphics

I pray you hold me in your arms now that my Mother is gone

Not just to bide time but to teach me how to appreciate life

Not to fear the unknown

But to love with my whole being

Until I am welcomed home
