grateful it has come to this……hurtful things i no longer resist………for the deeper the arrow goes………..awakens me to the core……………..and i have the courage to ask for more………. i have traveled along this way and i have learned there is a blessing for me…………and i look back on the hurt and pain………………and i can see…

glad for the happy……….glad for the sad…………..glad i can experience the good and the bad………….glad to view all the colors i see……..glad i can pick the right ones for me…………glad i can dream and glad i can soar……………glad for the days i just want to lie in the floor…….glad to know you……..glad to know me…………glad…

the ”obvious” came around and quietly sat down……..because the gate was open………….and we were left to figure out to close it or leave it………. we have a say in how things will unfold but it isn’t totally up to us………… what’s right and how that goes is contingent upon doing the very best at were…

after all the medical procedures and treatments that destroy your body to fight of the cancer…….i still see your light……… that spirit that chucks the middle finger up at your disease and says i’m living in spite of you……………i’m still making a difference in people’s lives……that light….. that light that’s shines brighter then what you…

the appropriate definition for the aforementioned word is : YOUR ACTIONS NOW GIVE ME FREE REIGN TO DO WHAT I WANTED TO, AND IT’S YOUR FAULT…….. when we are hellbent, and i do me hellbent to do what we want……..we will find a way to make it acceptable……..and your fault………. the only thing i am…
