Shine

Nothing needs fixing;

everything desires A Celebration.

You were made to bend

so that you could discover

all of the many Miracles

at your feet.

You were made to stretch so that you could find

Your Own Beautiful Face of Heaven

just above

all that you think you must shoulder.

When I appeal to God

to speak to me,

I am feeling just as small

and alone

as you are.

But this is when,

for no good reason at all,

I begin to Shine.
