Like the sun,
I rise
with warmth,
to touch
your life
and your heart
with my words,
to infect you
and brighten
your day
with my smile.
I arise
with love,
I arise with
beauty that
will melt
your heart.
Take my
moments with
you to
touch your world
with love
as you have
touched mine.
Let my
love bring
heaven to you.
Let me
bring healing
to your soul.
I want
to be the
first to say
I am sorry,
so you will
never hurt anymore.
Let my tears
wash your sorrows,
let it
wash your feet,
to cleanse it.
It will
bring solace
into your bones.
Let me
rise to the
sky with you
on my mind
and in my
final moments
to touch the sun
and be absorbed
by his love.

If I added up all my scars,
across my arms and over my hips,
I could stitch them up,
into untold stories and engrave them on my skin,
so everyone could see,
the vulnerability within.

If I spread my wounds across a canvas,
purple, blue, red, and other hues,
creeping on rippled fabric like stars in the night sky,
I’d create galaxies,
with craters, suns and moons,
constellations of healing wounds.

It is all there
Just keep pushing on through
Reach for that gold
Let no one deter you
You have come a long way
Continue on to the end
The path is now clear
Make yourself grand
