Heidi Sands Poet Rhyme

So many times

 
So many times I bled from pain
So many times I cried
So many times I almost died
And I pled, and I pled
So many times, I turned the other cheek
So many times, I was weak
So many times, justice I sought
through all the trauma, I fought

But, so many times are done
I am now rising with the sun
I am now ready for some fun
The tough days will still come,
but less crisis, from where I came from
For this life is all about love
Thyself first, then to truly share far
All will shine for miles, from star to star!
