Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder.
Today I want to be a lamp. I want to find someone swallowed by
darkness and I want to reach my hand out, offer them a light to see where they
are, how to get out, and most importantly, I want to be the light that lets
them see who they are, clearly, for the first time.
Today I want to be a lifeboat. I want to be a safe haven in
the turbulent seas of life. I want to give someone a nights rest while the
storm rages on, and I want to take them home, desperate and winded and
exhilarated. I want to see their face as we reach the shore together.
Today I want to be a ladder. I want to help someone climb,
to all the places they had never thought to reach. I want to offer them a leg
up, the chance to get everything they ever wanted, to help them ascend out of
the hole they have dug themselves into.
I’m going to be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder.
Maybe be because it is so dark and the waters are so deep
and I can’t seem to be able to climb my way out.
