There have been times
When the road was hard,
sometimes brutal, and
I just wanted to stop,
but I pressed on.
The road seemed hazardous.
The path constructed of
and covered in the
sharpest of rocks.
Then the blessing happened.
I saw this road,
which appeared hard and hazardous
was not what it seemed.
The road was not cloaked in hazards
but in blessings.
It was not paved in the sharpest of rocks
but the brightest of diamonds.
It is then that I hear my Bubby
when you can see the blessings
in the situation, then
you will be okay.
All this time I have been
walking on diamonds.
