you may not understand why this journey is

so hard, why it takes so long with so many

bumps along the way

 

but as sure as the sun will rise on this morn

and the next, i believe that clarity will come

 

and all those pesky things that make no sense

right now, will clarify and brighten. and that

one day, maybe not this day or the next,

 

but one day, it will tell a story worth hearing

and you will see that there was purpose to

each chapter of this tale.
