The years went by
Their youthful faces began disappearing
The zest for life began to fade
The monotony of life got to them
They slept farther apart in bed
They became strangers in the same house
The twinkle in her eyes had vanished
There were no more flowers…no more celebrations
The dinners grew quiet
It was so evident in their faces….that everything was lost
That nothing could be repaired
The passion had died down into ashes
The house became empty
The lives they created became wrapped up in themselves
Their little ones had flown from their nest
Nothing was left but silence
However time had continued…
And a word was never spoken
They stayed together out of fear
Fear of being alone
Fear of breaking the hearts of their little ones
Death had dawned upon them one day
It came without warning
It came into the dark of the night
Their lives seemed to vanish in a blink of an eye
I witnessed all of it
I saw them dying in front of me
No one understood that she was a living corpse
She hated her life, she hated her husband, she hated her kids
Yet she fulfilled her role in society
He always wanted more in life
Yet she always seemed to hold him back
Drowning his dreams into her fears
She killed his aspirations
So he was never able to reach his destination
And that was their story
So I promised myself I would never commit to anyone for the rest of my life
Afraid I would become a part of the same story
It is so interesting the way God orchestrates things. How he weaves people & events & situations into your life. Lessons, heartbreak, challenges, and love. His plan is vastly greater than ours, we tend to look at a small portion of the bigger picture. Focusing on the little problems in life never gets us anywhere. Sometimes what we think is a curse, is a blessing in disguise. How through hardships, you can understand & connect with others. Sometimes things are broken only to come back stronger. So when you think your life is falling apart….it could be necessary in order for you to grow. How would we ever change & become better people without challenges through life? How do we expect to appreciate the good things in life, if we have never experienced the bad?
