Passion For Life
she died on New Year’s Eve nine years ago,
this is the year I’ve finally learned to let go
my dreams are coming true-
my old life gone like yesterday’s
breeze and i am renewed like morn
for there is power in prayer-
scars mended and made beautiful;
this is the time when i shall break free
i used to walk the dirty floors,
not wanting to scrub my bare feet-
but i cleansed my soul with utter love;
we moved into a new home,
walls filled with photos wearing
soft smiles (fun memories always made)
no more solitude and pain,
this year shall be a fresh start-
i have learned to struggle…no more
when she died my heart stopped while weeping a tear-
now passion for life is my resolution this year
