Life

I woke up to see the faces of life. The man that had chose me, for his wife. The children we love together. The grandchildren I will love forever. My cell phone begins to ring. My mother begins to sing. Soon pain is left behind. The voices are quiet, in my mind. I will never be like most of you. Silence for me is a heavenly breakthrough. Life for me is a struggle sometimes. But I know tomorrow leaves today behind. Past is past so when it lurks in. I remind myself a new day will soon begin. Memories are okay. If they remind us of a better day. Depression hurts even my family. Praying of a life better for them not me. Life is not always what you make of it. Sometimes its harder, by a little bit. You may pass by and think little of me. Yet its your sanity that I envy.
