What if I were to tell you…
in complete disarray,
that I stood alone on a shadowy night
in my horror themed park
left to fall apart.
That my life,
relaxing and beautiful as it had been,
was changing and fast,
being set
upside down
and
back again.
With no moment of sweet peace
to smile again.
Hearing shrieks of terror
Screaming I say,
How could there
possibly
be
a…
[and pause,
just to start again.]
So yeah
[I figured I’d reply]
Sometimes life
looks
like its been doing somersaults
and it seems too painful
to just bare it with a smile
[you know what scratch that,
let’s try again].
So you continued,
in your horror themed park
on that shadowy night
amidst all the confusion
you realize,
that it’s still air that you are breathing
and the ground below you
and the sky above you.
And you’re in a park,
A horrifying amusing park.
So the shrieks you’ve been hearing
are actually children screaming in joy.
When you kept walking
you started to cool off
realizing that insurmountable pile of problems
was just a hill that you could jump over.
I mean,
Life may seem
really tough at times
make you want to feel hopeless
and in disarray.
But at those times you need
to remember
all that things that went right
That to believe in a God
is to remember that everything happens for a reason.
You see,
it’s all about
Perspective.
