Storyteller: 100 Poem Letters

by Morgan Harper Nichols

Dwell not on darker days for things are different now.

In her lowest place she found the grace, the strength, the courage, the room, the space to move and live and breathe again.

I hope that you can see the lights that hang above you have only gotten a little brighter, and there is still plenty of time for you to make it home.

Writing is a chance to speak to those who don’t feel spoken to, and put into words what the readers thought they were alone in thinking about.

By grace, with strength, you will carry on.

You will sing new songs. You will give all you have, and for the rest of time, you will be alright.

Because sometimes it’s just these candid conversations in faithful morning light that remind us we are not alone and we are going to be alright.

More than she was known for her accomplishments, she was known for the way she loved.

Have hope. There's more to come.

and there was more to you than they were willing to see.

You are not above anyone else. You are not beneath them either. Your value can never, ever be ranked.

You are on this earth for a reason. You are not just taking up space. There will be no perfect moment before you take the leap and speak.

But she did not fail, for when she fell, she fell into grace.

“I will make it through this. By grace, I will be alright.”

Not everyone believes in her. not everyone supports her, but her God goes with her, and that’s what sustains her.

You are the reason I am still breathing, though I am feeling torn apart. You are the Hallelujah beating through my broken, weary heart.

But you will never go too far that you are outside of My Love. Morgan Harper Nichols ...and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world – Matthew 28:20 KJV
