Worth It

Favourite recent pic of me caught skipping in joy! Minnehaha Falls, Minnesota.

Why have You shaken my life so?⁣
After these losses and the outpouring of gifts,⁣
will I be closer to You?⁣
Once the dust has settled,⁣
will I be settled in my faith and trust in You? ⁣

Why did You send me off on this train⁣
and on that plane⁣
with these travellers, some who gave⁣
and many that took too much ⁣
Once I arrive, with nothing left in my hands,⁣
will You take them in Yours?⁣

If after the grief and searing loneliness,⁣
I find You⁣
If I knew You would be waiting, pleased with me,⁣
the heartbreak and shame I’d endure⁣
all over again⁣
and then once more. ⁣

🌷
