Still I Stand

By Jennifer Hill

I stand still…

deep breaths,

small steps,

moment by moment,

they say.

I stand still…

a new life ends,

a new normal begins,

a new life within.

I stand still…

Will tomorrow come,

and ease my sorrow?

Yesterday was gone too fast.

While today seems to forever last.

Tomorrow is well beyond my reach.

I stand still as…

moments become days.

Yesterday is long gone

but today becomes tomorrow.

AND…

I AM STILL STANDING.

⁵God is within her, she will not fall;

God will help her at break of day.

¹⁰He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”

¹¹The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress

Psalm 46:5 and 10-11
