hands on the wheel of my life
course confidently mapped-
suddenly
i found myself
overboard
into the unexpected
flailing with fear
swallowed whole
disoriented
longing to breathe and
desperate for direction
struggling alone
against the unknown
--------------
against hope
the hand of innocence appeared
initially stubborn to accept the offered choice
of survival
only exhaustion forced me
to surrender
reaching for the hand of a child
she pulled me into the Light--
into the heart of God
reborn
baptized in the sea of unconditional love
this is a Theme Thursday tribute to my granddaughter who has "temporarily" lived with us for almost 4 years
beautiful...i made it to the light, i just had to step through the dark to get there...but i am glad the light found me...smiles.
