The Results

They only see the results.

They don't know the work.

They only see the peace.

They don't know the turmoil.

They only see the glow.

They don't know the darkness.

They only see the beauty.

They don't feel the rough edges.

They only see joy.

They don't feel the pain.

They only see the bud fully flowered.

They don't know the years of labored growth.

They don't know the years of rainfall of tears.

They don't know the years of woeful sorrow.

They only see the bright light.

 

And that's ok, for she, too, doesn't see their struggle. She, too, only sees the end result.
