Hello everyone, I had written this a while ago, since it’s a reflection of what life can look like when we’re dealing with a series of challenges.
FROZEN IN TIME
When you’re mourning the loss of a loved one
Due to war or after battling a prolonged illness,
As a survivor, sometimes it can feel like
Everything is FROZEN IN TIME.
As a caregiver or survivor,
When you’re dealing with uncertainty,
Wondering if you’re loved one will ever
recover from trauma,
Life can seem unfair,
It could feel as though
Everyone is moving forward,
But your life is FROZEN IN TIME.
When you’re dealing with
Extreme hardships
In your day-to-day life
And the cycle never seems to end,
It can certainly feel like everything
Is FROZEN IN TIME.
But H-O-P-E is a powerful four-lettered word,
Even a glimmer of it can be a game-changer,
HOPE sometimes shows up
in ways you would never expect!
Though recognizing this might take days,
It might even take a few years,
Sometimes the path to recovery is slow,
Particularly, when we’re consumed by our own fears!
HOPE can lead us on
To a different path,
By showing us different signs,
HOPE makes us realize that forever,
We do not have to be
Frozen in time!
