So Blessed

So Blessed

So grateful

for clarity

forgiveness

and what's set me free

A chance to learn

to love the real me

though my heart

still sheds a tear

There is hope

where there was fear

and shame

and blame

and disregard

I'm not playing with my cards

I'm writing thank you from my heart

to those who love me

there's a part

of me who still will not believe

but I tell it to hush

and I breathe

I breathe with God

for I'm a child

of creation

the way I am

The way I was

so long before

but that child’s no longer

on the floor

I'll pick her up

lay her to rest

I can move on

and live

So Blessed
