You Will be Stronger

When the dullards take the wheel
and the elemental detour we all hoped to avoid
becomes the superhighway

let us remember like the disciples of Jesus
that this life is not over
no matter what the lummox in the front seat says.

Relish the sun on the face of the evangelist
you must become and do not fear the prosthetic
that used to be your heart.

You will be stronger for the uncontrollable love
you already know is present in the center of your chest.

Stand on the threshold of your new home
and invite the strangers in. They will become new
and all shall be well as can be expected.
