someday (You'll love again)

​We're all gardeners. Whether or not we toil in the soil, we plant the seeds of love along the pathways of life.  We nurture our loved ones, our pets, and, yes, our gardens. We tend to those who take space in our hearts.  We must tend to ourselves, too. For we are trees. And where trees flourish, other life follows. 

When our hearts are aching life feels impossible.  As if a better tomorrow will never come.  But it will.  Somehow. Someway.  There will be signs. The kind smile of a stranger, the laughter of a child, the melody of birdsong, the sun setting through the trees. It doesn't mean it will be easy. Or swift. But the ache will fade and fall away. It will leave us, and disappear into the earth where it will linger, waiting to transform.

And then, one day, a seed is planted. In the gift of a kind word. The touch of a hand. A song of particular meaning. The scent of a favored flower.  And we are ready to try again.  To work the soil.  To coax life and love from its humble beginnings.  We will love again.

SOMEDAY (You'll Love Again)
​You plant a seed
In the dirt
Grow something wild
From the hurt
The sun will rise
And the moon will fall
The rains will come
And release it all
Someday, Someday
Your heart will mend
Someday, Some way
You'll love again
You cry yourself to sleep
Dreaming of a love
That you can keep
Open your heart
Let it grow
In this life
We can reap
What we sow
Someday, Some way
Your heart will mend
Someday, Someway
You'll love again
You'll love again
