Hold On (Easter poem)

Hold on.

Today is for grief. Today is for memories. Today is for anger...but...

Hold on.

You may have to watch things burn, crack, and peel. You may have to dig through rot and gross. You may have to scale tremendous heights... so...

Hold on.

It is true you are small. It is true there is so much - too much to do to make right. It is true it hurts waiting...but...

Hold on.

A lily blooms. A shell cracks. A stone moves.

Hold on.

The dawn breaks. The light comes. You are free, graced with mercy, compassion, and joy...

All for three days patience.
