she saw her mama today
and in a moment her whispered prayers
and grieving wails were met with an answer
only to have them begin anew
she counts the seconds
marks the calendar,
boldly in purple,
numbering the moments until she can look
into the eyes that match hers
for one more hour
she knows the sins
understands the blame that was cast
yet, she worships the one who carried her to life
watchers sometimes ask how she deems her worthy of forgiveness
why she longs, dreams
she's entered the equation for success in my home, they say
education + finances = opportunity
how could she ache to return to the past
when a future awaits
and i'm reminded
there are no success stories in scripture
there's brokenness. there's betrayal. there's death. there's grief.
there's joy. there's redemption. there's Jesus and his glory.
there's His victory and cloak of righteousness...
but the only success is birthed from deep brokenness
