We forget that it’s in the interruptions, the waiting seasons, the disappointments that we grow best.

From 2 Peter 1:5-7:  “For this very reason, you must make every effort to support your faith with excellence, and excellence with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with endurance, and endurance with godliness, and godliness with mutual affection, and mutual affection with love.”

Sara Hagerty is an American Christian author.

Flowing with Tears

As children

Playing board games

Innocence sparkles

Without igniting flames

 

Daily joy

Nourishing trust

Every hour brightens

Happiness never rusts

 

World ignores

Destroying hope

Daylight now darkens

War viewed through every scope

 

Man’s nature

Mapping each clash

Nations torn apart

Battlefields burned to ash

 

Future doubts

Flowing with tears

Children’s hearts saddened

Tomorrow’s constant fears

It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.

Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter one’s thoughts and opinions has ceased to exist.

Frederick Douglass (1818-1895) was an American social reformer, abolitionist, and statesman.  He used his influential voice during the early years of the civil rights movement for African-Americans.

Elements of Persuasion (Haiku Series #370)

Patience

Darkness of morning

Massive thunderstorm gathers—

Waiting light of peace

Transition

Nighttime without joy

Storm’s anger now exhausted—

Brilliant sunrise

Answers

Today’s windy breath

Questions about tomorrow—

Navigating hope
