Sitting alone in my chair only hearing the rhythm of my heart
Life has been long, tiring & giving
Born into a world with barely a breath to breathe
What a gift what a beauty
But life had a cruel plan in mind
Hurt and pain was life's opening door
Dark hallways ahead seemed cold and hard
A beam of light to reach but the ache was meant to stay
To block the sun and grey the day
Hurt and pain were life’s own hand,
Leading me to a wider land
They weren't the wall, they were the key the very thing that set me free
The world had to much to say too young to know the weight,
At sixteen, life of beauty gifted me
A tiny hand, a breath, a brand-new fate
The world was loud but the sound of a tiny humming heart beat was louder then the storm
I found a joy that didn’t need a name
A kind of love that never needs a disguise
I wasn’t lost; I’d simply found my way
Some saw a struggle a path too steep
Sunshine lights the new path for me & my daughter
I had the greatest love in my arms mine alone
Sitting alone in my chair only hearing the rhythm of my heart
For my daughter—who turned the cold and hard hallways of my life into a path of sunshine. You were the gift I didn’t know I was waiting for, the tiny hand that led a life of beauty and happiness
