Tomorrow Could Be Wonderful
It’s true.
The uncertainty is your prayer,
the hope is your forgiveness
for loving a God
whose power lies not in strength,
but in the peaceful surrender
to the dark
as well as the light.
Tomorrow could be wonderful,
and nothing,
not your fear,
not your anger,
not even your resentment at being powerless,
will temper the joy you feel
in being alive.
