People spend their entire lives
Looking for the perfect moment
When we’re children we dream of adulthood
Looking for the future as if it’s gone somewhere without us
One day we wise up, start forgetting the past, living in the now, and resolve to praying for the future
In life we encounter conflict
We wonder if things will ever get better
We write our goals and hope to God with clenched fists they happen
But you can’t work with your hands closed
In the midst of our dreams and goals we feel like we’re in limbo.
Hanging between where we are and where we want to be.
We feel invisible, non – existent, replaceable
It’s as though people look at us, but see a mist or fog and keep moving
The feeling of being lonely and empty is like a church with no people
Relationships will make you feel like you’ve found your place
You’ve never felt so wanted and needed
And you wonder after all this time why you’ve never taken the moment to acknowledge what and who you’ve got.
