Jacqui

“Because somewhere in you
there is an anchor
that isn’t made of metal,
but of hope.
Of stories you’ve lived through,
hands you’ve held,
songs you’ve sung
when no one was listening. And though the boat lurches,
though the night is long,
you learn
that storms aren’t meant to be outrun,
they are meant
to be ridden through. And when morning comes,
as it always does,
the sea will settle,
and you’ll be there,
salt-kissed,
weathered,
but stronger than before.”
