When a situation suddenly
and without expectation –
turns
in a healing direction,
your heart wants to sing.
For you had lost hope,
and could not see
what you could do to
help.
And here it is –
the needed change
on the way…
The joy of it is
bright.
Your gratitude starts to bubble
up.
It starts deep in your stomach,
then springs to your heart –
opens it wide,
and sets it on fire.
Next, it flies up through your vocal chords,
making sweet vibrations.
It is a song that
must be sung.
So, on the wings of a grateful
heart,
your song passes
through your lips and
dances off your tongue:
“I SEE YOU.”
