The Dawn Breaks Whether You Held It
The sun is up, but your heart is still in the dark, watching them walk the same road you bled to pave. You see the stumble before it happens.
You feel the old gravity pulling at their heels, the very mistakes you sacrificed everything to prevent. But the light that rose this morning does not depend on your perfect vigilance to reach them.
There was a father who saw his son coming home from a long way off. He ran.
Before the apology, before the speech — he ran. The light runs toward your children even when you are too tired to watch.
You are not the guardian of their soul; you are the witness to the One who is. The dawn breaks whether you held the night together or not.
