“Embracing Life’s Journey: Love, Strength, and Future Dreams”

The love that I have had throughout my life,

Will forever remind me to be brave.

The sadness, tears and sorrows I have endured,

Are moments forever etched in ways I cannot convey.

 

It’s time to fly and be free like the winds,

Nature is calling me as the rain washed away my fears.

The strength I have to stand and fight for what I believe in,

Calms my heart and keeps it in a space of stillness.

 

Adventures await along roads not yet explored,

Joy fills my soul with bright light with the words flowing by my fingertips.

Believing in the future dreams that await,

Freedom, peace, laughter and now forever living in the moment.
