It Is Well

Being close to them
Reminded me of my love,
I saw a whole life there
Where I could be what I’m made of
And belong and bless.

Remembering my love
Brought to surface the pain
Of having the ones I chose
Treat me with such disdain
Having a warm heart tossed to the cold,
By the cold.

In my pain, I want to exact blood.
I want to return loss for loss,
But I wasn’t alone
Where I was tossed
God You died with me,
And You brought me back.

I was right to release
My anger, my pain, my claim;
I won’t pick it up again.
I let go of the blame.
You love a planet full of people

Who won’t care about You.
Mine is just one building.
I guess We’ll both just keep on

Loving anyway.
