EMBRACE



Embrace what mystically is known to be true...
that which we seek, is our destiny.  
Each milestone mastered open wisdoms' door...
destiny’s face is revealed, slowly we soar.
The feeling is thrilling, God knows when we’re willing to embrace the beauty in His master design.
To overcome each obstacle, trust in your faith...to gird your strength well Because...what we embrace will be heavy...you know?  
Cherish time spent to develop our minds. Even fears that caused tears, taught lessons we learned...and with His help, embrace all that is yearned.  
God’s inscrutable wisdom we may not understand...
still, we trust in his judgment and follow his plan.
Use your faith in the truth from knowledge well earned; and Passionate Purpose will walk hand-in-hand.
As, fearlessly, we embrace our destiny.

About this poem

This poem is an edited version of the original "Embrace," written in 2008. It is my second poem inspired as I embraced the responsibility of caring for an ill parent. When written, it seemed as if it was an "out-of-body" experience. Leaving me quite surprised by the achievement. The edit was done in a stress-free environment, allowing for a more grounded writing experience. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I liked creating it.

In 2004, I discovered my propensity for creative writing while caring for my mother. I intend to spend quality time practicing the principles of creating the literary art form of poetry. more…
