Sweet, doe-eyed expectations.
Glaring regret. Disappointment.
Abandoned.
Exhausted. Hopeless.
This is it.
I choose.
This is not the end.
The promise.
I stand strong.
He is able.
Home is my destination.

Saw your post on Writing101 Commons and I absolutely love this poem! I am not sure what thoughts you had when you wrote it or what you were writing about, but my interpretation is that each day hopes for something better, but ends with disappointment. Longing to leave whatever the situation is, you decide to stay and rely on God’s strength to continue. Thank you for a great poem!
My map post for the day is a Travel Thanksgiving giving thanks to many places that have left their mark on me. I’d love to hear your feedback!

My son had to teach me to whistle. Jus sayin’.
