How does a shattered life move on?

It moves on with a hope.
A sliver of a hope at first
That you have to trust will grow.

A hope that the intense pain will subside.
A hope that God will not turn his back on a broken spirit.
A hope that the strength will surface...from God knows where...
to make it one more minute, one more hour, one more day.

And that's how it goes.

One day at a time.
One foot is placed trustingly after the other
And I walk forward.

Yeah. And it was a minor miracle that i figured out how to put a picture on in the first place so I'm glad you're thankful. In fact, I think you're the only one looking at this anyway so I guess it's all for you. You are welcome!
