Sometimes It Takes Everything

Dedicated to those who have and are going through a lot to reach their dream life!
Sometimes It Takes Everything
It’s only through the hottest heat,
That diamonds can be complete.
In only through time in a cave,
That one can truly appreciate the light of day.
It takes going deeper than the lowest valley,
To dig a refreshing well to help one rally.
It takes the irritation of dirt,
To create a priceless pearl that can assert..
It takes all the stuff that goes on below the surface!
Sometimes it takes everything…
The hot times,
The dirty times,
The darkest times
And the lowest times.
To make you complete…
Because without it,
You would never become a…
Priceless
Clean,
Sunlit
Pearl or Diamond!
Sometimes it takes everything!
In fact,
The diamond is only complete
After it endures the heat.
The light of day
Is only appreciated because of the dark cave.
The refreshing well that helps one rally,
Came only through going lower than the lowest valley.
The priceless pearl so white and clean,
Is only formed from a dirt gene.
What’s it take?
Sometimes it takes all of that, it takes everything!
Everything to become and appreciate the priceless things!

Yes Grace, sometimes it takes everything! I’ve left everything familiar to serve and live in another country as a missionary. But, I gained far more family, friends and life experiences than I could ever imagine. In fact, I fondly remember those years as the best times of my life. We need to step back and look at the big picture and know that delaying gratification will earn a greater reward later.
Rita, thank you for sharing your journey! Glad you were able to follow the path for you and enjoyed it along the way. Appreciate your feedback!

You are welcome, Ron. Glad you can pass that on to others.
