What Once Was

What once was is no longer.What once was a life of pain is now gone. A life of hurt and anger has died for now. All the unanswered questions are now answered. A family I never knew is now mine. The empty spaces that once was are now full. I've tried to fill my life with all the love and happiness. I once did not know. I now have a home where me, and my babies can be safe. I opened the door to the lord and asked him to send his angels to protect us from any evil and that's just what he did. I go to sleep every night thankful for all that is done. I wake in the morning thankful to see another day. They say everything happens for a reason even if we don't know why. I have forgave the bad even though it will still be with me for the rest of my life. I think it happens to those strong enough to deal with it, that way we can help those who are not as strong. It has made me the person I am today. I know now that I will always be able to take care of me and my family. Stacey Marie Olson
