what is the meaning of my life?
who am I now?
what is my purpose?
what is the direction I must
now choose?
It seems such a short time ago
that I married the love of my life.
there was meaning then.
there was purpose.
I knew who I was and to whom
I belonged.
we had a direction and faced our
future together, united in our love,
our beliefs, and a common goal.
but for a reason I know not what,
he is gone and now I am challenged
to seek and create a new life alone.
the past seems to draw me, but that
is no place to live.
memories are sweet but they are just
memories and do very little to
give direction in the present.
friends, both old and new, are very
kind and tolerant,
but they have lives of their own.
some days the burden seems almost
too much to bear.
but as the Phoenix arose from the
ashes, so must I also.
Dear God: I lay prostrate
at the foot of your throne
waiting silently for Your voice,
for there is none other than You
who knows the pain I bear inside;
the confusion;
the emptiness;
and because I know that You know,
I trust You to renew my life and
bring meaning and direction
to my future.
