I AM STRONG
I have learned the meaning.
Of love. Of heartache. Of loss.
I've grown. Shed dead leaves of sorrow & pain.
My branches have borne heavy loads,
Enjoyed the pleasure of young children swinging, climbing, laughing
Names carved into my heart: "I was here." "Cindy <3 'So & So' 4-eva"
But over the years........the bark expands.........the names slowly fade
My outer skin. of bark grows. thicker, harder to leave your mark
My purpose & appeal ** ** have changed.
I have done ** my very best
To ward off the "termites"
That eat me up inside.
My core, my limbs
Are solid
my roots
run deep
Nourishing
waters
Of truth
in my veins
Holding dear
only The most
important
Ones in my life
Mom Dad
Michael - my brother Jeanette - my sister
Naomi. Lisa. Micaela. Marina. Abby. Caleb.
MY TRUEST & GREATEST LOVE
MY. BEST. FRIEND. JEHOVAH. GOD.
