Lately I have been feeling the need to develop patience and faith and hope in the future and all it holds. While discussing with a dear friend why we make crazy random plans for when we will be old ladies I was reminded of this poem I wrote a couple years ago (At the time I was referring to lovely plans the same girl and I were making then). We feel those plans don't detract from the now, but make us excited for the future. Even though I don't know what will happen, I am gradually remembering and being reminded that finding joy in the now and making plans for an unknown future is the way to have patience and actively wait. Hold on to all the good and truth and love you can find moment by moment and trust in it! Let yourself find contentment.
contentment
even though your hands are cold
and you shake a little
the warmth inside is enough
your mind just can't understand
your heart
but that's alright
you have to accept things as they are
see the good through all the bad
enjoy the sunshine
even though rain is your favorite
make random plans
that might never be done
but make them anyways
waste a little time
to figure out your thoughts
or think about thinking
wink just because your curious
admit to being angry
shed a tear or two
don't be afraid to smile
radiate yourself through your eyes
sing a little song
listen to your heartbeat
and wonder at the little marvels of life
stare out the window
not longing
but content.
