Standing

I fell and I stood up, I am still standing I faced many crisis and traumatic things, I fought it all and I am still standing I changed directions many times I re-located quickly and often as well Some things were from the past Some things were new and unexpected But, one thing stayed steady on solid ground Never faltering, lessening or falling My beliefs, my creativity and my purpose I will fall many more times in rocky days In a life with unexpected bumps and ravines I will stand on cliffs I reach and admire beauty Life is a mixture of all these turns and things I will always rise and stand, seeking light upon them Heidi Sands 10/10/24 (C)opyright
