Baggage Free

‘Reborn here now without  baggage’
But I had to do a lot of self-reflection.
I thought I was unfixable and damaged,
I changed my thinking, got a new connection 

However, I know I’m not perfect at all,
Reborn here now without baggage. 
Now I’m able to stand tall after a fall,
I put me first and I don’t like cabbage.

I don’t focus on my failures, my personal adage,
Changing my perspective brought healing.
Reborn here now without baggage,
Accepting myself is such an amazing feeling. 

Each day that I live, it’s with purpose,
New lease on life, I'm the whole package.
A  worthwhile voyage (mind, body, and spirit )for us
Reborn here now without baggage

None is perfect no not one. My favorite Apostle, Paul was the first to admit he didn't deserve God's forgiveness and I know I sure don't so you are in good company. Great write my friend and sister. God Bless, JB
