Moments by C. Scott

We all have moments in our lives
Moments that surprise us no matter how ready we are for them
Moments that take our breath away
Whether it be good or bad, happy or sad

There are times that the news can be such that
You just want to turn away and run
You want to be able to resign from your own life
And start all over somewhere else

But, what do you do when that is not an option?
What do you do when the news is about something you can't run from?
What do you do when there is no break and nowhere to turn?
What do you do when your hope starts to fade?

All legitimate questions that at times have no answers
The only thing to do is hope...
Hope that the answers that are not present right now
Will be sometime soon
The answers that are not evident will show themselves over time

We all lose hope,
We all lose faith,
We all lose our strength and courage
We all fight every day, in our own ways, to hold on to all of them
Some days are just harder than others

Don't be afraid of those days, embrace them
Embrace the fact that you still have a chance
You still have a chance to regain your hope,
Regain your faith
And regain your strength and courage

Ask for help when you lose your way
Lean on the people that care about you
Know that the hope, the faith and the strength and courage to fight
Are still inside you, just tucked away, temporarily hidden

Know that people are supporting you...from near and far
People love you and want nothing more for you that to see you win your battle
Take strength from them
And allow them to be your hope, your faith and your courage
Until the time you find yours again and resume the fight
