life goes on.

Life is changing. They say nothing stays the same, yet life will go on. The sun will rise. The clouds will form shapes. The moon will hold the man. And the birds will fly south. There will be more sleepless nights, Uncle Marc will disappoint, and Dustin will keep making excuses. Pat will tend to his lawn, Becky will wish he would text, and Sidney will try to fit in. Morgan will work her way to the top, and Erik will substitute family for soccer. Justin will lead us on and Bailey will keep changing the world and Kerri will cry at night and wish somebody would come and help make her life just a little bit better. I will skip meals and try not to forget to pray and visit my prison girls and spend my days with the two little ones. I’ll wake up early and struggle with my self-worth and try to live up to way-too-high-expectations everyday. I’ll get average grades and dress average and be the average soccer player. Tyler will text me about suicide and Anna will never miss a day of praying. Crystal will eat peanut butter and Kenzie will drive barefoot and airplanes and birds and seagulls will fly in the sky up above. And the galaxies will not fight their destiny.
