week twenty-nine

i have weathered this storm
many times before
and been victorious...
can this trial turn out the same??
i pray that it turns out the same...

there is half of me
that wants to hide
to just let the wind
blow life away from me
to succumb to the storm

but then the other half
yearns to show her strength
to stand up
and be brave and courageous
and look into the eye of the storm.

i am both these women
two sides of me made whole
contained inside this life
and together
we are victorious.
