Notes About The Poem

Life is 'always' full of challenges and we can only do our best and keep trying :)

I Found My Way

I found my way through trauma and tragic days
I found my way through deep pain and many losses
Life went up and down from mountain tops to ravines
Sometimes feelings were falling from me, like waterfalls
Ongoing, but clear always moving, in a cleansing way
I found my way through danger when life was unsafe
Whether I had to move a lot, I saw beauty in new places
I found my way with determination to be who I am freely
            --- To pursue everything I believe in ---
I wish the same for you, in the darkest of moments to be
I wish the same for you, with everything that I can see

Vijay Pandit August 25, 2017 at 9:10 AM A lovely message in this poem, Heidi! Heidi Sands August 25, 2017 at 9:16 AM Thank you Vijay. I want to make sure people don't think I am saying it is easy, because it is not. And there will always be challenges too, but how we approach it and our choices make a difference. :)

Mike Gentile August 25, 2017 at 9:04 AM Wonderful message, Heidi, I find that sometimes, no matter how hard I try, challenges keep coming my way. Trying to see the beauty and keep up beat is essential Heidi Sands August 25, 2017 at 9:15 AM Hi Mike. You are so right. The challenges do always keep coming (even with how hard we try!) (there is no eliminating them) . It takes work and conscious effort with how to deal with them and of course gratitude helps. And keep looking for the beauty out there each day! Thank you for your comment on this ! :) hugs.
