Peace

. At midnight there is a peace in knowing the day is through you've lived it well disappointments have no hold on you for you made your decisions with honesty and respect you gain a peace in the beauty of a day well lived a day where you laughed and cried and held dear the essence of your spiritual truths you sought light you drew light to you, you pushed boundaries you accepted limitations nothing is outside the realm of possibilities and dreams, dream with all your heart, with all your soul never accept others wants and wishes without question and when you lay your head upon your pillow and close your eyes smile at the knowledge that tomorrow is a blank slate imploring all you can be

Such a amazing write, Crafted so beautifully in shape and tone with a profound message..I long for peace as you have clearly revealed here.. It seems like some days I feel I gain a step only to be pushed back three more..There are some days that are filled with much sorrow and they just seem to go on forever, I am glad to see those gone..Realizing that tomorrow is another day and it is brand new so who knows what it will bring...I thank God for each day we can start all over..Huggss, Tyesha
