The Tide of Life

At the beach,
when the tide is going out,
the waves recede
and it seems that nothing
is happening in the sea.

But the truth is
that the great swells
are gathering strength
beneath the waters,
building energy for the time
the tide will return...

It's similar
to the times in our lives
when something
we have depended
on is gone and we are left
with a feelings
of emptiness and sadness.

At times like this
we can take heart
Knowing that
an unseen strength
is building within us.

if we can only be patient
relying on a sure faith,
the tide of life
will turn and happiness
and fulfillment
will once again return to us.
