Life Is a Race
 |
| © The Gospel Coalition |
Mary had a little
lamb
Whose love was
pure as snow.
And everywhere
that Mary went
The lamb was sure
to go.
He followed and
followed unfailingly
Relishing even her
presence.
Until he started
wondering whether
His absence make
any difference.
Down and out, we
are like the lamb,
Shaping our paths
through rejections.
Trained to
participate in tough races,
We’re struggling
in forced directions.
Race to prove
oneself inarguably right.
Race to seek
validation in others’ sight.
Race to save
relationships already broken.
Race to leave
behind words unspoken.
What we speak,
however, are comforting lies
Over and over until
we forget the truth.
Fudging away, we
dwell on the past.
Holding
what’s gone, trying to make it smooth.
But if we keep
holding on so tightly,
We would end up
with fractured fingers.
There can be no
home for a new life
While the ghost of
the past still lingers.
It is our desperate
tendency
To strive for the
forbidden fruit.
Some things ought
to be effortless.
A point that has, for long, been mute.
If only we counted
our blessings
Instead of wailing
over our sorrows.
If only we
cherished it when present
Instead of missing
it in tomorrows.
Despair is because
there is hope.
Disappointments
due to expectations.
Life is written in
high language.
Placidity is its
translation.
