She whispered prayers over the years
She worked. She hoped. She believed.
She sacrificed...time, joy, and priorities
In the wake of "loyalty"
In the pursuit of the end game
Today her dreams are fractured.
Sometimes prayers whispered aren't answered
At least not in the way we might have expected
Work is mildly rewarded. Hopes are dashed. Priorities misaligned.
Loyalties broken.
The end of the game.
What is the learning?
It's important to dream - but rarely is there a fairytale ending.
It's important to pray. Oftentimes it's in the process that answers come...not in the outcome.
Work to learn, and to impart, not to receive.
Hope for the best and be grateful for the rest.
Never waste a moment. You and only you can prioritize. No one is going to do it for you.
Never have your loyalties called into question. Be loyal only to those who are yours.
When it comes to games, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
How you walk away demonstrates who really won.
She takes a deep breath and let's it out slowly.
She picks up the salve of hope and rubs it over the fractures of her heart.
She looks out beyond the horizon...waiting for the dream.
She will pray it in and she will work it out.
She will learn.
She will remember.
She will guard her own fiercely
She will rise each day with dignity and grace to be a light to those around her.
She will be a winner in the game of life simply because she chooses to play.
