Process

Sickness, heartache, we're constantly annoyed!
Being caught in our wrongs; we'd like to avoid!
A ll these things are experiences for our good,
Created from crystal, not easily carved wood.

The igneous type rock we are found within,
Must be slowly removed; for our souls to win!
A refining process; the whole time we are here,
Only the body housing perceived; stifling fear.

We bash into and go through; a very hard trial!
The fallen pieces of dross; we begin to revile!
Souls become polished; ever smoother the rule,
Finishing the process of becoming a jewel!

Wow Jim this was a beautiful write. I particularly enjoyed the last two lines. I hope we all can become jewels. Even in my harder times, I now try hard to keep the mindset of “what can I take and learn from this?” Not always easy but we always can find something

Thanks for the reflection
Gwen :)

Oh Jim!!! One of my all time favourite pieces from you. Life is a journey, I absolutely loved this journey you took us on. I loved the lines on crystal instead of easily carved wood, because it is hard to change and evolve. You are a jewel my friend 🙂☀

as are you Shelley-anne! many here are so kind, and I love uplifting truth! the whole reason for life is not to do some look at me thing ,but to become something, the maker can mold us if we will allow Him! thank you!
