Are You Rising?
Maya Angelou once wrote,
“You may write me down in history,
with your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in this very dirt
But still, like dirt, I’ll rise.”
In the midst of all that happens in life,
to harm and ruin others,
there are many, like Angelou,
who will still rise,
because they know
there is treasure in the ruin.
They know they will overcome and rise
in the midst of the ruins they experience.
I have risen out of my ruins, have you?
I have watched all I thought was important,
disappear,
fall apart,
crumble,
but like Angelou
I rose
I rise because
I can,
because I see hope in my future.
I rise
because I see the treasures
being revealed within me
and because of me.
I rise because
I have been taught
to see the beauty
in the cracks,
in the ruins,
and in the least of thee.
As long as I can,
I will rise,
it may not be in this realm,
it may be in the next,
but still I will rise.
Will you?
