Bruised rose petals and concrete

Don't ask me why...

Ask me how-

How?

Unfailing courage.

Faith in your creator.

The humility to be ground into dust.

After all,

We all come from dust.

Hope- that when you've hit rock bottom,

the only thing left to do is begin to climb your way out.

Crawl if you must.

Bleed and break and fall if you must.

Weep if you must.

But climb,

CLIMB!!

You must...

And yet you ask

How?

Endless forgiveness.

Of self,

And of other.

The wisdom to falter

And yet,

To falter but never fail...

To fail you have to give up.

Falter.

But don't give up.

Never give up!

Let death happen,

But never give up.

As it stands,

Death comes to us all...

All die,

But few actually live.

Live!

And falter...

But never give up!

And still you ask

Never give up?

Never?

How???

Above all...

Endless love

Love that informs 

That to do anything but

Is not an option.

That is how...
