Poem by Coletha Albert: My Crown

Is the sky falling down?

Has Humpty Dumpty broke his crown?

Are you feeling extra down?

Are you stuck watching The Crown?

Can’t you tell up from down?

No matter what hold on to your crown

There are some days you will feel down

No matter what hold on to your crown

Don’t slouch or slump erase that frown

No matter what hold on to your crown.

No matter what hold on to your crown.

Revelation 3:11

“Out of the one who eats came something to eat;
    out of the strong came something sweet.”

“What is sweeter than honey?
    What is stronger than a lion?”

Samson

Life is not what you think, something sweet comes from tragedy if you have the time and presence of mind to go and see.

Coletha Albert

We avoid “the scene of the crime” in our lives… but if you stop by and revisit those moments of trauma you will see it’s not the monster you recall it to be. This truth may set your free. This freedom is very sweet.
