“Morass of Life”
Challenges arise during our lives,
most of them not requested,
not invited, and not appreciated,
at least at the very moment,
when they appear before our eyes,
blind us, perhaps, blindside us
when we least expect it.
With great effort and a daily dose
of Heavenly Father’s spirit and push,
and friends who surround us,
waiting anxiously to help us,
we can climb out of any abyss
or any challenge that might come our way.
Often, we want to be done with it
immediately, but we discover—
much to our chagrin—
we have to learn something
that does not emerge straightway
and definitely not on our timeline.
Often it is drawn out,
tediously, miserably,
and we moan and groan
and then thrash about some more
for extra measure and an added dose
of grief, self-affrication, elongating
our wondrous escape.
When we do learn, we look back,
take a deep breath, sometimes roll our eyes,
and wonder why it took us so long
to point ourselves in the right direction.
Fortunately, we do acknowledge, sometimes
begrudgingly, belatedly, thankfully,
and gain knowledge and great wisdom,
and continue to plow vigilantly forward
through the mountains of morass
that we fondly call life at its finest.
