it's okay sometimes to lose control and give yourself up to the tides of life.
after years of confusion and uncertainty to finally learn the truth
make amends, reminisce, and accept
sometimes it makes sense and it makes everything ok in your heart
it can be healing and empowering in ways that I never anticipated
life is endlessly uncertain and surprising
against our will, the memories still bring smiles
and we must go on
it can be enough if we let it
still the yearning of what could be is ever present
as always
I am not where I want to be
I may never be
but I won't ever quit trying to get there
peace is always worth a try
on the way, I will continue to love my family
the only constant love I have known
picking up pieces of bliss along the way
because, frankly, I deserve it
willing to try if I am met
if not, I am ok
there are still little jewels in life to be discovered
cherished and held
I can tell what is real and sincere
and hold on to those things
and they make life better
there is only one kind of love
the one that is unconditional
the one that accepts
the one that tries to make you happy
even for a moment
it makes all the difference to me
