A Letter To Me - Someday

Hey,

 If you are reading this,
                    you’ve made it!
The clouds that lingered in your sky
so long ago, gave way.

The beauty that you knew existed,
overcame the doubt.
Conquered demons after all,
                        laid to eternal rest.

If you are reading still,
                             you feel it.
You know what you were 
                             meant to know,  
    what you were meant to do.
The import of your value,
                         finally understood.

The peace you feel is 
                       well deserved.
     The boxer’s gloves, no longer fit, 
They slumber safely, tucked away,
            in thoughts of love - forever .

Congratulations!
