Slowly I move toward the truth
lingering ever so slightly in despair
finding strength in conscious thought
and inward love of self
Oh how I long to reach the point
where yesterdays are gone
and the future begins this moment
to birth a new tomorrow
Holding memories for warmth
listening to the flow of life
feeling the tug of hope
to be surrounded by love again
Blessed are the moments
we reach for every one
to mean something more
than yesterday’s pain
