Life asks

Life asks

Will you accept me as I am

Even though at times I bring you to your knees

Are you ready to crawl

Little by little in the dust

Rather than give up your desire for me?

 

Life asks

Will you weather the storms

I send

And allow everything to be blown away

Knowing failure to pin everything down

Was not your fault

Was indeed no failure at all?

Sometimes the wind just blows!

 

Life asks

Will you stop blaming yourself and others

For what I gave to you

When really I am asking you with the giving

To find the way through

To find the gift

The blessing

Hidden deep inside

The curse

 

Life asks

Are you willing to shed

What you thought you needed

To embrace what I am asking of you

Are you willing to dig for gratitude

In order to turn

Your opinion of me around

And never completely give up hope?
