Wanting to Be a Mother

“Seasons of Heaven”

| Laura Lee Bonde

crawling out of darkness
smoke had filled the air
clearing away
revealing vision
clearer than before

kneeling
discovering
standing
walking

to a place that looks different

with familiar faces
that acquainted before
but become closer
in the picture of life

uniting
swaying
supporting
growing

when seasons change
the weather blends
to create an atmosphere
that matches the season
until Jesus

promises
hope
Peace
understanding

Jesus living
creates an atmosphere of heaven
in every season
every circumstance
every moment

breakthrough
believing
receiving
victory

of standing tall
with smoke underneath
breathing with ease
sleeping in rest
seeing with clarity
