I cry, but—
not all day and not every day.
Joy fleets, though
not all day and not every day.
You haunt me—ever so often,
but not all day and not every day.
I fight and love,
not all day and not every day.
Her words sting, but
not all day and not every day.
I care for myself, however
not all day, not every day.
He becomes my shadow, although
not all day, and not every day.
The pain evaporates
not all day, but fading every day.
They dismiss me—that's fine,
I rise without them, every day.
I hold me kinder,
a little more—every day.
Somehow,
the light finds me!
My soul unbroken
my gratitude deepens.
The sun shines,
not all day, but every day.
I am blessed,
all day, and every day.
