There’s a time when you realize your life is much like the “Twin Towers”..sturdy, strong..you built this tower, brick by brick. In doing so, it brought security and trust to those you chose to share it with…
For months, maybe years, you saw the “planes”. You ignored them and all the warning signs. You did not want to change the “Tower”. It was too much effort to make it stronger..for in doing so, it was you that had to change…
And then one day, they collide..the plane of self destruction, has brought down your tower
And you stand before the rubble of “Ground Zero”..knowing with each brick that tumbled down it broke someone else heart as well as your own.
You search to blame, everyone, but yourself. You debate, about leaving the rubble exactly as it is..It’s easier.
After sometime you face your “Ground Zero”...knowing, it will take months, maybe years, for those around you to embrace the “New Towers”..to forgive you
You may only build this tower one brick at a time..but by rebuilding, you learned..Learned how not to build “stronger”
But how to build more “lovingly”
For that is the “tower” that will never come down..
And you build it, one apologitic brick at a time..
Thank you Tabby, For that night I took my girls to that shelter
As much as I wanted us to be different, we were quite the same….
When I left.. I knew, we were different because, you were really trying….....
