It Will End in Praise

How much pain can a man take? I asked
How much heartache can a woman endure? I wondered
Will this ever end? I thought?
What have I done to deserve this? I cried
A life full of challenges and limitations
Unanswered questions besieged me
I cried till my tears dried
Eyes hurting, chest heaving and mouth dry
And suddenly…
Just like a dream…
Broken pieces came together
Crooked lines aligned
Hope came alive
I couldn’t believe it…
Can this be happening? I doubted
Is this for real? I pondered
All this for me? I mused
My heart leapt, my eyes lit up and my mouth smiled
I heard it before, though hard to believe
I’ve read it somewhere, but never thought I’ll see it
But right before my eyes, it’s unfolding
This pain will end in praise
My endurance was worth it
I will triumph over the trauma
A victim no longer, because victory is now mine
Halleluyah!!!
