God never leads us astray
no matter how confusing
the journey seems at times.
Parts of the path that appear
as detours or even serious errors
reveal themselves as rhymes.
These necessary places teach
lessons we could never learn elsewhere
and cost less than two dimes.
They hold the seeds of healing,
invaluable indeed, so we cannot
count them as snares or crimes.
If not today, then someday for sure
we’ll look back and see those spots
grew not lemons but sweet limes.
See? It’s Okay.
