VICTORY

Despite the tragedy that is being born 
In spite of life being mostly a traumatic event 
And the only way out being a daunting challenge
The little moments make it all worthwhile 
At 3 am, taking in all the times 
seeing your partner sleeping peacefully 
Seeing your son happy and kicking 
Saying hello to your mom in the morning 
talking to your father till late at night
Playing with your Dog 
or Just looking at her 
receiving a call from an old friend 
Talking for hours and finding out they are doing well 
laughing about life with your brothers 
The sound of rain when you are inside
Having a sip of tea
Someone just saying congratulations
you have come so far
Falling in love with yourself 
Having peace in your heart
Taking a breath and another breath 
These moments that you forget 
How much work it is just to stay alive 
They make it all worth it.
