From a life of harmful influences
You have emerged victorious;
A half century of experiences
Few see in a lifetime –
From a foundation of abuse
You have built a waterfall
Of love, trust, and compassion;
Through your tears you visualize hope
For yourself and all those like you
Who have sat on your doorstep
Reaching out their hands to you;
Flowing gowns of confidence are draped
Around your apprehensions and concerns;
Slender fingers guide your movements
Towards your needs and gently unwrap
The gifts you were given, discarding the trust;
You smile embraces your heart,
Your body intertwines around life,
Greeting each day as a feral cat
Making sure you do not get too close;
And yet, each year, you re-examine and renew
Stepping through a virtual door on a
New journey towards a new memory
That will evolve you into the spiritual
The life you were always meant to have.
