24 years ago
My lips are parched
Holding out for your kiss
No sweet savour have they tasted
No drops of water to provide relief
My lips are so dry
Since the day
You left
So my ex-friend whom I have been mourning for most of this year, not even having wished me a happy new year yet and it is already the first day of march, popped up this morning on mobile before the bells of seven am sounded, “sorry so early, left something at home can I please collect and take to the office”?
Phone on silent, yay. Too late!
I persevered with happiness
And now happiness is running dry
End of day looms large
I will rest
Knowing that
I have done all I can
Gives me the chills when he starts singing 🎤
There is calm
Amidst the storm
I pull myself inside
Gather all the pieces
Falling apart around my feet
And pull them into the peace
Inside of me
I look at this girl
So full of light and hope
And feel compassion
For the soul within
Wishing only the best
May life treat her well
And so for today
I encourage that girl
Inside the woman I am today
To give thanks
And be happy
Just for today
Tomorrow I will
Wish again.
I allowed myself to cry
Great big heaving sobs
The gates were opened
My pain was released
And after I had rested
I felt better
Healing could begin
Everything good in my life has been brought to me through a blessing.
The blue eyes of my dear children.
Work opportunities in Sydney.
The home I live in.
My best friend forever.
God has brought so much across my path.
I trust that He will continue to bring what I need when I most need it.
He knows and leads the way.
Perfect timing.
