seesaw: a poem.

sometimes life feels seesaw:

i’m down and you’re up,

and then a few months later

i’m on a high looking down,

helping you believe

during your low.

remembering

that there’s both sides

to life:

they switch back and forth,

for all of us.

remembering

to be grateful for my highs,

and to let you know that

God is faithful

in all the seasons.

the high

the low

the in between.

He will never

let you fall off

the seesaw.

this is something i've been pondering about a lot lately--how for a while i felt like i was looking up and seeing all my friends enjoying their good seasons while i was having a hard one myself, but now, it's seems like i've swapped places with a lot of my friends and am now encouraging them during their hard seasons. it's a good reminder that every single person has their ups and downs and if not now, the hard seasons will come. no one is immune and it's just so good to keep in mind when you want to be jealous or judge. but also that God is with us in every season, the good ones and the hard ones. He is constant when everything else is in flux. this is so comforting to me and i hope it is for you as well.

sending all my love! i will be back with another post for you all soon!
