Life is fragile.
How often do you go through your day
and never realize there was a close call?
This grip we have on life is tenuous
and we aren’t even aware.
How quickly a beautiful day can turn gray.
How fast the sky can dump rain.
Tears are shed for things not understood.
Hearts hurt for those experiencing pain.
How disheartening is this way of life.
We try to control our corner of the world
but those we rub shoulders with,
we have no control.
What is the answer?
Do we put those we love in a steel cage?
Let them out only when we deem it’s safe to play?
Still, He determines the course of life,
and cage or no, life will happen according to His plan.
We have to be ready and accepting with grace.
