When you hold that new baby in your arms
revel in the miracle of being
When you get angry that your child does something disappointing
revel in the opportunity to teach
When you cry because you have been hurt by a bad decision
revel in the ability to mend a broken heart
When you are happy for the joy you see in others
revel in the need to witness
When you lose someone and all that is left of them is love
revel in the chance to give that love away
