I Bloom With Grace

By Shelley Caruso

Original artwork by Shelley entitled, 'Wherever life plants you, bloom with grace'

I tell myself everyday I’m not a victim,

but a victor.

I tell myself I was not robbed from something,

but saved from something.

I tell myself this too shall pass,

but have a fear of what will not pass by me again.

I tell myself these tears are only for a time,

but sometimes time is timeless…

I always pull myself up,

but I seem too leave a little piece of me behind.

My journey has not been easy,

but it has made my choice easier

too just be happy…

Living one day at a time,

making me happy…
