What if pain is actually the purest form of grace,
Life in the birthing process,
Façade giving way to honesty in a trail of death
What if strength is but a series of shattered things,
Fortified by falling,
Flawed but priceless in the eyes of a perfect God
What if our two feet are not meant to make us stand
Or to stabilize this feeble man,
But rather give way to the arms of their creator
What if God’s mercies become clearest in our suffering,
In those times we doubt His love.
When we’re washed in tears, born through pain and close to giving up

First of all – not only are you a part of that “adopted family” group – you are also part of my small but fiercly protected circle of friends….
I love this post – I think I’ve read this somewhere else – did you post this on your myspace blog? Your poetry needs to be read on a rainy day with a big Starbucks in hand…it’s the only way, really…
Love you Matthew – you’re the best!
