Poem

The Clay and the Potter

I’m in pain
I don’t know what’s happening
I can’t take it anymore

The clay clamored to the Potter

Please wait
Be patient
I’m still molding you

The Potter reminded him

I’m a failure
I want this life to end
This road is leading me to nowhere

The clay replied

No, you are a masterpiece
Allow Me to shape you
You are still going through the process

The Potter gently answered

Why do I have to experience this?
Why do I need to be crushed into pieces?
Can you just give me a rest?

The clay demanded

I’m not yet finished
You are a work in progress
Trust me, I know what I’m doing

The Potter patiently said
