I sit in the backyard
Sun on my face
Warm Saffron tea mixed with French Vanilla creamer in my hand
My heart feels full
My soul it begins to sing
I think to myself...You stayed away, way too long
This feeling of joy
A rejuvenated happiness
Deep down inside sprang to life from where it usually resides
A sense of hope
A little glimpse of my old self
Determined and motivated to recapture who I once was
A life devastated
Torn by challenges and limitations
Fighting the chronic pain daily and battling the demons within my own mind
Memories once lost
Moments somewhat restored
Feelings of possibility now pushing those thoughts of deception to the side
Oh if I could just hang onto these feelings for the rest of my life
So I beg and I plead for them to stay
As I say with tears in my eyes
Oh please, Oh please
Stay with me always
Do not run back into the darkness to hide

Who Am I?
I keep asking myself. I spent half of my life as a single mother. Pushing myself to be the strong independent individual that I have always been. My kids have grown and my life seems turned upside down.
I now search to find myself!
