Moment of truth:
There are some things I wish I didn’t know.
I wish I didn’t know what pain felt like.
I wish I didn’t know, feelings changed.
I wish I didn’t know where healing occurs.
I wish I didn’t know, why, Judas betrayed Jesus.
I wish I didn’t know when the recovery started.
I wish I didn’t know, the truth, I have experienced.
I wish I didn’t know, so many things I now know.
I wish, became I did, because I didn’t meant I wouldn’t, and there is no other outcome, worthy of what I have.
No regret, the checkbox can now be marked received.
I wish is the child on the inside.
I am grateful is the woman holding her close.
Together we are whole.
Together we are bold.
With God, we do not fold.

Another self revelation, my I Wish is now my I Did. Is it not great to arrive at the I Did. Bless the child on the inside. So beautiful.
Your poem resonated so deeply with me because all my I wish was now I did!
