I walked a long walk
After A Perceived Defeat
From a challenge...I, at first,felt as if I were the victim of hatred's heat...
That I blindly failed to see as a victory.
Time had passed as I lay awake and pondered
What the outcome of all my struggle had meant
It was the power,within myself ,that was to be a warm glory.
I smiled and got the lesson and it's strength in which it brought
A spirit, in me, so mislead,  twisted up and bent.
I thanked the people and events which gave me such challenges
Since some miracles, from life, are painful events
That bring forth the best in us.......A better heart
Such strengthened by not getting a "happy ending"
to a "scary story.."
it bonds the loose ends back together and brings the soul strength and glory.
