I'M Just Getting Started

I'm just getting started to face this new adventure To roll through the changes, release my fears to the wind Also, to conquer something inside fighting my body As it would like to be my enemy, so I must be a friend I will gather all my strength to rise above these challenges I will spread my wings to fly free, as I soar the open skies I will land where I choose and take in every beautiful view One by one, healing me to the end of colorful rainbows I will find love in a pot of gold waiting and then I will speak The words meant to be heard from my journey of survival My soul will open like a rose with thorns to protect me Blooming to the fullest of a life thriving from true faith Fulfilled by a purpose that is mine, meant to reach others Then, I will sing and I will say once again, thank you God!

This is beautiful Heidi, so sorry it never placed but if any consolation it was very close number 11. I think I wont do premium contests any more, it's too stressful leaving out great poems such as this!

WoW! What victorious words. These are my feelings. I believe in my heart that no one leaves this world until God is ready for them to. When I was told I had cancer I said no I don't, the thyroid does and we will get rid of that. A positive attitude is important when facing any threat to you body. This is a fantastic read. You go girl. God Bless, JB

Heidi, I like the mix of shades thrown around in this gem of a poem. "As it would like to be my enemy, so I must be a friend". This takes enormous strength in character, no shallowness in the depths of these words. Good luck in the contest. -Richard
