There are so many ways
things can take shape in your life,
but perhaps, for all that is unknown,
that doesn’t mean it can’t be beautiful.
Perhaps, even though the waiting
asks a lot of you, this is also true:
there will be new beginnings
and good things that are worthwhile, too.
I cannot tell you it will be easy,
and I cannot tell you it will come together
in a perfect way,
but I can tell you
there will be sunrises,
people worth knowing and loving,
and abundant encounters with boundless grace.
For all that has changed,
may there be room
for a new way forward
to emerge in an unexpected,
yet beautiful way.
-Morgan Harper Nichols
