I Will Praise

When it all falls,
Crashing down,
Shattering,
Breaking me, 
My will.
When it's gone--
All gone...
Then, will I praise.

When it is impossible, 
Improbable,
Achingly painful
To take one more step.
When I cannot move,
Think,
Breathe
Without falling apart,
Heart breaking,
Aching--
Then, will I praise.

Remind me then 
Of who I am,
Who you are.
Remind me why I am here,
Every day,
Still here.
Be with me
When I'm raging,
Angry,
Hostile, 
Hateful,
When I'm impossible to love--
Then, will I praise.

Then will I praise you.
In all things,
In all times,
When I most want 
And when I can't.
Can't? Won't.
Then, 
Always,
Forever,
With all of my being, 
Then, will I praise you.
