RE-EVALUATION
Thistledown on a gentle breeze
On it’s way to somewhere
Tiny petals setting sail
Across an Autumn puddle
Blackbirds sing in the Cat-tail reeds
And three puppies sleep in a tangle
I hold a cup of steaming tea
And sit on the front porch steps
As summer fades I recollect
The past year of my life
I didn’t win awards or fame
I didn’t inherit wealth
I finally learned to love myself
And forgive me all my failings
That opened doors I never saw
And gave me eyes to see
The beauties of the life I’ve made
And who I’ve come to be
The strength I didn’t know was there
The gentle hand I offer
I comforted that little girl
Trembling in a corner
Of the dark space in my soul
And told her it will be O.K.
The sunrise here is glorious
And we’re gonna be just fine.

In my current emotional yo-yo state, this was a very good day.
