Mine...

There were many losses and yet a lot to gain,
I played with my hopes and burnt them down in pain,

There was soul searching and heartaches, crazy thoughts alongside,
It was a long wait before I could get up and walk again

I danced with my shadow and sang songs to my heart,
The light was bright at times, sometimes so low but I was not afraid of the dark,

I wouldn’t change anything, the unconditional giving or the comforting embrace,
The flowing tears and silly smiles, the gripping fear nor the stupid laughter,
The silent conversations or endless cups of coffee after

Strangers became friends and friends became family,
Blessed are those who have many loving souls, it is true really,

There were cries deep into the night and smiles to make my world shine,
It was a different music every season but it was mine…
