[sunlight is God's glory - mira]

well,
today i worked full shift.
it wasn't the full shift that i dreaded.
it was a whole lot of something else.
it was busy,
yet people weren't all that nice.
apparently,
i've got to see the very truth,
the truth that people worked for money.
'i get paid this much,
i do this much' mentality.
and why must sarcasm fill the air..
was that how people should communicate?
so senselessly..
maybe ya..
it was communication.
it wasn't conversation.
'i get my point across' - the end.
disappointment filled my heart.

at points,
i was at the brink of tears,
yet i was not comforted by men.
Daddy was there.
my heart turned from mourning to joy.
whiffs of peace and joy came by as i thought of Jesus.
He was humiliated.
He was mocked.
He was beaten.
He endured.
[Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men,
so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. - Hebrews 12:3]
i was reciting this to myself as i worked.
it was liberating.
God had comforted me when i needed it so.
i was angry.
i wanted revenge.
but i unclenched my fists,
and told myself,
"i choose to love."
and so i did.

i can't remember when was the last time when i looked at you,
and you made me smile.
time felt as though it was further than a mile..
but i recounted countless of times when i looked at you,
and i had tears running down, ruining my very smile.
my heart was painful,
and forgiveness was needful.
faith, hope and love,
with the above,
God taught me to love.
I was very glad,
that my heavenly Dad,
went the extra mile,
to restore my very smile.
