I Feel So Faraway

"Collect moments not things . . . "

In a moment, all I love was taken faraway,
everything I treasured far-flung and so distant;
just a daydream of what was my wonderful life,
     and I am left lost in thoughts of my yesterday.
     Miles away from today at times,
     dreaming of what was my life;
     wondering, can I find it again,
                               or is it gone?
        Perhaps not to exist,
           gone faraway now;
and I must start anew, again make a new life.
Start over, oh how many times has that been?
But deep inside I find the strength and begin,
                              a new life chapter . . .

One's strength lies not in remaining fallen, but rising up yet again:) I commend your strength, Constance, all will be well soon:)

Where do we find the strength to start over so often? Well penned.
