Loud Blessings and Quiet Burns

Holding joy and pain at the same time.

By Ruth DPublished 2 months ago Updated 2 months ago 1 min read

Our thoughts can be pretty,
our thoughts can be painful.
These thoughts are powerful,
so we better be careful.

Some moments are pretty,
some moments are painful.
Not one or the other,
just gotta stay faithful.

We aren’t just our bad moments,
we aren’t just our good ones.
We’re a mix of both, even when it hurts,
carrying loud blessings with quiet burns.

Some days we feel faithful and strong,
other days we feel lost and wrong.
It’s a journey we all must go through,
even when none of us want to.
