A Recollection
Above green pastures I fell into a recollection
Beyond the shore side I made a connection
Concisely I wrote in a tiny flowered journal
Determined to be a strong woman so maternal
Everyone craves desires to work on themselves
Find freedom from books on our dusty shelves
Growing in fantasy of being better than we are
Hoping our wishes come true from our special star
Internal revelations fear nothing but great loss
Jurisdiction for true answers no matter the cost
Kicking and screaming we search in front of our eyes
Learning nonetheless we must remove our disguise
Maybe I’ll find my beliefs are enough reasons to live
Never giving up on passion I need to freely give
Open my heart to my honest soul-saving wonder
Pray if I’m in life’s earthquake I shall never fall under
Quietly I sit and ponder why life brings such sorrow
Remember the sun sets in west for a brighter tomorrow
Selfishly I crave more riches than I have received
Truth be told God has given me more than I’ll ever need
Uniquely I write prose for the one true lover of my life
Vicariously I am forever blessed to be his eternal wife
When the snow falls I shall see beauty in mother nature
Xerox my memories of the importance of the manger
Youth came and now I am an adult free to choose
Zig-zagged and healthy free from yesterday’s blues
