Constance La France Poet Verse

Treasures Within

I remember the day very well-
        I wrote whats hidden within me,
my short journey to the now;
          that has no anger, pity- just
acceptance . . .

Just quiet acceptance for my destiny-
        my future is set in stone,
the day I wrote my poem;
          I knew my path- my fate
written . . . 

All the paths taken or not-
        the mistakes that will fade away;
all that matters dwells within me,
          money will not- cannot change a
thing . . . 

I will not waste time weeping-
         but find my strength and courage;
what I need resides in me,
          my life may be short, but
amazing . . .
