and when the world ran out of hope
I learned to love myself and cope

I am not here because I prayed
I am here because I stayed
and
I'll see it through until the end.

What on Earth.. She said,

Nearly nine years ago
when we said
I do
who knew
that nine years could go
so fast?

Too fast
sometimes speeding
but always needing her
to steady me.

We go on
and
She goes on
the warpath
occasionally.
