Joy, beneath the tears.

Joy, remained, remain, beneath the tears.

Surprisingly, I found joy, today. Yesterday had snatched my joy, or so I thought. Yesterday, whooped me upside the head, brought me to my knees.

On my knees, I cried out, shouted out loud, cried, cried, cried some more.

This evening, I find that I can’t stop writing. I can’t stop being thankful, being grateful for life.

I thought I was done writing. I found writing was not done with me. I thought I was finished singing. I found music was not finished with me. I thought it would be a while before I would feel joy. I found joy was only hidden beneath my tears, hidden within grateful 😭.

I used to dismiss my tears. Now, I embrace them as the dear friends they are. These tears share my heart with God, with Life, with others. Ah, Lord, these days hurt. Ah, Father, this heart has been so lonely for a family of my own. Ah, Life, this soul has been wandering and wondering where my posse has been hiding. Ah, beloveds, I don’t know how, when or where to make my writing dreams to come true. Ah, me, I don’t know what else I can do for you, for us, to get us where God, where Life, where mom and dad thought we could or should be.

*Shedding tears of joy, Cassandra cries for all who can’t yet cry for themselves*

Ah, God, be there for each and every heart, mind and soul who has a need. Ah, Life, help each to overcome all that overcome them. Ah, Jesus, be there for each and every heart in need of A Friend. Ah, beloveds, hang in there. Love, yourselves. Allow others to care for you. Who cares? He, does. I, do. We, do.

loving me a whole lot of yous,

Cassandra
