Wings

When I was a little girl

I believed we all had wings

I would dream of flying

High upon the wind.

Our wings were invisible

And very small in size

But as we grew into ourselves

They would appear when we reached the skies.

But somewhere along the way

My wings became dark and singed

From all the times I touched the flames

Of some self-made hell I was in.

There seemed to be no hope

No dream to pull me out

I felt so very alone

No chance for turn-about.

I never intended

Or even meant to

Be the one

To disappoint You.

So when the heavens opened

And You spoke my name

You welcomed me anyway

And I went, without fear or shame.

Now in Your arms

I feel all the love

That when I was little

I always dreamed of.

Change

"CHANGE". What is your reaction? Negative or Positive?

It seems to me that no matter what the situation, it usually means both. It's funny how we view coins in our pocket as "change" because isn't all change like a two-sided coin?

For example, in my case, it's about changing my moving address, changing my job, changing my life, all at the same time. Big changes can be scary and thus are labelled negative but, on the other side, big changes can be exhilarating, exciting, interesting and thus feel positive.

I'm in for some big changes come December when my life as I know it will be spun up in the air like the chance flip of a coin. My emotions feel like that right now, scared and excited, all at the same time.

Well, I don't know how things will turn out but like any one of us who puts their life in the hands of fate, I will be as curious as you to see where it lands and hope for the best outcome.

I'll keep you posted.
