As I heal
As I heal
I think about what I feel
What I wish to do
So much I have been through
I face a future
A dream that I need to nurture
Never before have I had that door
To open.
I was hoping
Just to survive
No one makes it out alive
Did not care
Did not dare
But I'm still alive
I did survive
Now for tomorrow I did not prepare
Life was never fair
But I did not care
But I seem to, now
Just trying to Learn how
I reckon one day at a time
Do not have a dime
I feel no fear
Yesterday fell my last tear
Life I hold dear
One more day
So many words left to say
So much I wish to do
A sky so blue
On silent strength I drew
One day more
Then I open that door
Tomorrow
My land of no sorrow
Today
I go my way
Seeking what I do not yet know
But time will show
Hope does grow
For a better day
My hair turns gray
Wrinkles appear
...No fear....
Standing on n my own
With what life has shown
My soul has grown
I Feel
My body does heal
My heart beats like a man young
I hung
My sorrows on my sorrow tree
On bended knee
Left them for the past
For tomorrow to last
I needed to be free
So much I wish to be
To see
A sunrise
Watching time as it flies
Hope never dies
Tomorrow
No sorrow
A new step along my way
Into a new day
Life, I did earn
So much left to learn
I heal
Trying to understand what I feel
My new scar
Is a part of my star
I wonder how far
Is tomorrow
Life is the land of no sorrow
I find
Peace of mind
