No one else
no one will be just the same
cause as you may know
or can see
we’re all unique
never not the same
not the same as
you and me.

Gently
Lay the burden down
Caress it softly
Hear the ground moan quietly
From the weight you laid down
Feel no anger, no remorse
Your work is done
You’ve travelled the entire course
Now, you are the one
To show the way.
Not deviating
No
Not today.

Take hold of me
And please hold tight
Protect, guide me
Through the darkest night
Let no harm come to me
Or those I love
This I ask, I ask of you
My sweet love.

When I fall
I must get up
Look to the horizon
Never giving up.
Failure is only a learning step
Nothing happens
That you can’t accept
Learn or forget.

I am a survivor
I survived hatred, anger
things
that made me a victim
I am a survivor
I came through
growing into someone
who understands how it happened
I am a survivor
Only hurt, remorse for those
who inflicted that hatred
that anger
I am a survivor
Have moved forward
built a life full of love, generosity
no hatred, some anger
I am
I am a survivor.

Holding on, holding close
all that I love and cherish
through
the darkest time.
Let us not be separated
or
hurt in anyway
any kind.
This I ask
I pray
to
the wondrous, great Divine.

Don’t know
where I’ve been
or
what I’ve done.
The truth
is
I believe
my life, my journey
has
just begun.

Hold me close, hold me tight
help me understand
the goings on that happened
have changed
my life.
Let no word be spoken
in anger nor strife
let love begin to heal
the hurt, the pain in this
my only life.

Holding on to something right
Moving forward thru darkness
Into light.
Striving to be the best I can
All of this
While living life on my terms
As I am.

The sun shines bright
Radiating, glowing
with
all it’s might.
Let me not
be standing in the shadows
not feeling
its’ love, warmth, beauty
and
delight.
