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.
