Tread Lightly

 

Every yes is a no to something. 

Every win is a loss to someone. 

Every victory is a defeat somewhere. 

Every beginning is an end somehow.  

 

Tread lightly friends. 

We are a jumble of emotions today. 

But we are also sharing this human experience together. 

 

It’s easy to gloat. 

It’s easy to despair. 

It’s easy to celebrate. 

It’s easy to mourn. 

 

Tread lightly friends. 

We are jumble of emotions today. 

But we are also sharing this human experience together. 

 

There are smiles of happiness. 

There are tears of sadness. 

There are feelings of relief. 

There are feelings of deep anxiety. 

 

Tread lightly friends. 

We are jumble of emotions today. 

But we are also sharing this human experience together. 

 

For some, prayers seem to have been answered. 

For others, prayers seem to have been ignored. 

For some, God has ordained this day. 

For others, God, if there is a God, weeps. 

 

Tread lightly friends. 

We are jumble of emotions today. 

But we are also sharing this human experience together. 

 

Yes, tread lightly friends. 

We are jumble of emotions today. 

But we are also sharing this human experience together.
