What makes a life worthwhile?
The chances we get
And the choices we make
The people we cling to
And the ones we leave behind
The times we were certain of our abandonment
And the moments when our good fortunes seemed inevitable.
30 years ago
Countless little miracles
Were set in motion
That made my life possible.
Perfectly orchestrated
Wonders and disasters
Weaved altogether
To make a tapestry of life.
Breath in my lungs
Hope in my heart
Faith in my step –
All gifs from God.
Fear in my mind
Depravity in my soul
Weakness in my convictions-
All occasions for redemption.
Three decades of life
Is more than many have ever had
And yet there remains an
Appetite for more.
I come to this threshold
Grateful for what has come to pass
And hopeful for the days ahead.
To more life.
