Stumbling Star
Rolling with the punches
Of the riot in my life
Surrounded by threatening words
Meant to knock me off balance
Running away from sinking holes
Tripping outside on panic
But he caught me
He never let me fall
Lifting me higher
Then the brightest star
Through my darkest of times
Nudging my courage
Away from intimidation
Until I wearily land
Within the safety
Of his house of hands
Aged with wisdom
Patience and strength
Believing in faith and time
Rebuilding me to trust again
So he taught me
A Stumbling Star
It will be okay
Cause he'll reach out
To steady me from afar
Of the riot in my life
Surrounded by threatening words
Meant to knock me off balance
Running away from sinking holes
Tripping outside on panic
But he caught me
He never let me fall
Lifting me higher
Then the brightest star
Through my darkest of times
Nudging my courage
Away from intimidation
Until I wearily land
Within the safety
Of his house of hands
Aged with wisdom
Patience and strength
Believing in faith and time
Rebuilding me to trust again
So he taught me
A Stumbling Star
It will be okay
Cause he'll reach out
To steady me from afar

Dear A,
Turmoil and then acceptance with understanding is what this piece had me thinking. It’s a raw write with lots of love and tears to me. Wonderful to have you back. Lovely piece. H🌷

Hi H!
When you are going through hell - that's when you find out who your friends are. The one's who stick around when things get hard. This was a tribute to that. There have been a lot of tears but also a lot of hope as well.
For me they have to coexist. I'm not crying for nothing dammit!!! LOL
Thanks for the RL and your steady friendship amiga:)

You said it all buddy.
The determination through the worst of times.

Hi Tim
You have no idea - or maybe you do:)
Someone telling you it will be okay might seem small
but it's not. It's calming and gives you strength.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at my stuff!

So change the title!
I see the title representing the author, of course. It's still a star even dealing with any stumble. It will always be a star. It can't be lessened.
But, you are using this write as an acknowledgement to someone, the house of hands. So perhaps then, yeah, changing the title to that emphasizes that aspect towards them more so.
I'm sure they feel honored by this. Who doesn't appreciate such a creative gift?!
Either way, it's a hell of a return, pal. You were missed!

Nope, the title stays.
It's kinda like naming a baby. hahaha
Can't change your mind after all the paperwork
has already been mailed.
But House of Hands is pretty coolio!
I love man hands - not too bumped up but not
too feminine either. Cause I'm not changing the oil or
mowing the yard!!
Creative gifts are the best - shows commitment and how you think.
Thanks for the encouraging words.
I missed the site and everyone here too!!
