I have so much to say
But nowhere to start (Sigh)
A blank page full of dreams and nonmaleficence.

Where are you
It’s been so long
Since I’ve seen you smile at my door

Where are you
You’ve fallen asleep
Wake up now

Wake up
Wake up
You’ve fallen asleep
My child

Wake up
Wake up

I see it passing by
hour after hour
People getting off and others hoping in
While others fall asleep

Blinded by a glare
It's me against the world
Fighting to stay awake
Reluctantly awakened by a sound
I see it passing by
once again

So, I got up!
And hopped in!  
As I'm walking in
I see Him sitting there front row seat
Right behind Him, is an empty seat
Reserved just for me,
The windows crystal clear,
Pure light striking me

I am amazed by what I see,
For so long I've doubted
by gathering thoughts and regrets
Breathing toxic air that choked my life away

Suddenly a voice whispered,
"You are in the right place, You may not know where you are going, but it is well with your soul. You've been here before; my child it may seem like a long way home, but don't be afraid."

Choose faith, and believe that you are safe.

This train will lead you through the valley,  
Witnessing the most beautiful scenery,
Observing places where love and compassion
is absent but through it all
you will be a difference maker.

My steps, my sight, being ordered by the best pilot.

To be continued.......

Remember when you once thought you had lost it all?
Remember when you thought you would never see the sunrise or the rainbow?
Remember when you ran so fast,
Running away from fear,
Running away from love and
Running away from everyone who hurt you?
While running, you forgot that you were strong.

When you feel like running away remember that
You have been here before,
You have relived those thoughts before, and you have survived,
Do not quit when Life gets rough
Keep running,
Keep showing up where you are needed, where you are loved and appreciated.

Running can be tiring, and one day, you will realize that as you arrive at the finish line, you will need to slow down.

The finish line is just ahead, be filled with joy.
Keep your eyes fixed on the Pioneer and Perfecter of your Faith.

I've been staring at a blank page
Behind each word, there's joy and ache
Stirred in a cyclone
"You are strong, you are brave," whisperings on my ear.
