To Have It All, The Quiet Sacrifice or Marvelous Wonder
Grant Hope #9
All at once immense station and reputable rank
The weight of your words fall on ears that attend
Your hand turns the helm stout and true of a ship known near and far
of immaculate career and corporate prestige
men and women enact your proposals
taking each stroke of your hand carefully penned
each intentional transcription of word
continuously spinning the present into the next day’s tomorrow
it is a marvelous wonder that diving all in
a time for a full woman, wife, and mother
is also spun in the deepest of marrow
Yet it is also not such a task burdenless
it is often doubtlessly a painful choice
to have it all
something all too often must die in quiet sacrifice so the other can be given
strenuous and wearisome
one breast in palpitating pulse feeds one side of incarnate life in silent submission
Rewards of hard work vs joy in the smiles of loved ones grateful greetings in the morning
Perhaps some have it all
moving in glory and grace’s strideth be
and some sacrifice rising attentive to the occasion
to live in a way of not knowing one or the other
falling hidden and noiseless
getting caught motionless in the pull of life’s packrat race
