For many years I have been as hard as stone.
Granite.
This life has slowly hammered away and broken me apart.
I have been chisled down to bits
Pounded into a fine powder.
I have been tried in the fire,
Stepped on by the feet of many,
Blown by the winds of fate.
I have mingled with the dirt until that which I once was..
Is, no more.
I now await the great and powerful rain and,
The wisdom of the master craftsman.
He will gather all that I have become....
Ashes, dirt and powder;
and in his skill,
Mold me into the image of his design with careful, loving hands.
I know I will return to the fire once more.....but...
Only one more.
After the refining fire,I know I will not crack nor will I shatter. I will be Strong .
I can withstand the coming heat, for when it is ended,
I will be raised up and I will once again be made whole.
I will be anointed with the oil of gladness and
My face will shine like the breaking of the dawn
of a new day.....And I will be blessed.
A golden crown will sit upon my head,
Fine clothing adorn my body.
I will stand once more unshakeable and true.
I will lift my countenance toward the heavens and
raise my arms. My heart will be alive.
For I am a queen who has been newly reborn
out of the rubble and clay of the earth.
I will be thankful for the new life I have been given
And never forget from whence I came!
