What if...

What if we knew without a doubt when...

suffering illness 

 overwhelming loss 

 heart is breaking 

 struggling with a decision

~ 

What if when

 consumed with worry 

for our children 

our future

the planet

~

Or when

 treated unfairly 

buried in doubt

awash in sorrow

filled with rage

wrestling with injustice

engulfed with loneliness

 isolation

~

And

on the brink of despair

the edge of tolerance

end of patience

finished 

done

~

What if

in those most

critical and personal moments

we knew we were suspended in the embrace

of the strong arms of a benevolent and peaceful angel

~

Could we then 

in that moment of refuge

find the courage and strength

 to endure
