it might be
that first time love
breaks our hearts, or
the last breath our lover
takes while we sit
holding their hand.
it could be
the boss ridiculing us
at our first presentation, or
having to tell staff
there is no longer money
in the budget to keep them on.
it may be
as overwhelming as waking
to find ourselves on life-support
or the first time a child
wakes up sick in the night,
but every ordeal, every
struggle, every heartbreak
is held in God's comfort,
hope, and grace.
