While I was falling apart

I have coached, nurtured, and consoled others while I was falling apart.

I have comforted people through their struggles while I was falling apart.

I have given 100% of my time, effort, and knowledge while I was falling apart.

I have clothed, fed, and housed people while I was falling apart.

I have taken criticism, discipline, and dismissal while I was falling apart.

I have changed bandages, wiped noses, and tears while I was falling apart.

I have tutored, advised, and provided recommendations while I was falling apart.

I have listened, empathized, and prayed all while I was falling apart.

I have given money, donated time, and gathered sponsors all while I was falling apart.

I cried, prayed, wiped my tears and picked myself back up.

I am still falling, but I am collecting the beautiful pieces of me that will one day create the masterpiece of me.
