It Is Okay. Poem by Ester Billishan

IT IS OKAY.
It is okay!
I know your mind is overloaded with questions,
You are worried!
Worried that it's your responsibility,
To stand up and make things happen.
You are scared,
Scared for you see yourself loosing,
Nothing is happening, and all eyes are on you,
And the last thing you want is failing.

It is okay,
Things may not go the way you want,
You'll be disappointed!
You will get tired and may want to quit!
Do not lose hope!
Lift your spirit up,
Remember you can do way more than you think you can,
You just can't do all alone.

It is okay!
It is okay to ask when you do not understand,
It is okay to ask from experienced people,
It is okay to admit your shortcomings,
And it is okay to embrace feedbacks when you are corrected.

It is okay!
Remember to trust the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding.
Public
Acknowledge him in all your ways and he shall direct your path.

It is okay!
For the Lord will instruct you in the way you should go,
And he will guide you with his loving eye!
It is okay, you can do all things through him for he will give you strength.
And everything is possible for the one who believes.
