I Am Not Sad

I am not sad! While most of my poems may be SAD They reflect the experiences that I’ve HAD I promise you I am not MAD In fact most days I feel GLAD Whenever I do feel DOWN Or sadness is AROUND When pain and fear are ABOUND I write to release my inner FROWN My writing is the skeleton KEY To all things that make me - ME It opens the door and sets me FREE To document my life’s JOURNEY I write today to tell you SO Just in case you did not KNOW My memories are clear and PLAIN On my journey there’s both joy and PAIN SOME OF IT I JUST CAN’T EXPLAIN SOME ANSWERS I MAY NEVER ASSERTAIN Happy memories are all I SEE When I reflect on my girls and ME They fill my heart with such JUBILEE And now my life has UNITY Alaya and Saen adore me SO I love them and this they KNOW They repaired my heart and helped it GROW In their eyes I see love’s GLOW A love like theirs is INCOMPARABLE This makes the pain of my past - BEARABLE They fill my spirit with joy and GLEE They are the reason I was meant to BE Each and every day I PRAY I look in the mirror and I SAY Thank you lord for this DAY Watch over my children as they PLAY And please show me the WAY To be a better person - TODAY This eases the sadness in ME So I can live and be HAPPY!
