Today I learned
That I’m not afraid to be with pain… Yours, or my own.
That I can sit in it and not be swallowed by it.
I can be with it and not be consumed by it.
That I can feel it and move through it.
That I can be okay someday, even if that day is not today.
That I will replace tears with laughter.
That it may hurt, but that I am made strong by it.
That I may wish I could fix it, but instead I accept it.
I can be with pain, yours or my own and not judge it.
That my heart it bleeds, and my chest it aches,
it reminds me that I’m human – I feel life.
That though today we cry, tomorrow we may smile.
And that’s hope enough for me.
Today I learned that the greatest gift of all is to stand, fully present in life ready for it all.
