I believe
Life
is always
teaching us
things
miraculous things
about ourselves
always
throwing
opportunities
in our path
for more growth
The Year of 2016
will always be
My Year of Loss
and learning
acceptance
letting go
allowing
myself to grieve
for all
I had been
given
and all
that had been
taken away
discovering
the pain of loss
while accepting
loss and grieving
as an integral
part of life
learning
to resist
to fight
to push
hard
against it
to attempt
to escape
it all
only
prolongs
the pain
I don’t know
what this
next year
will bring
I don’t make
resolutions
for the new year
I mostly
just hope
I end each year
having learned
the joy in just
being me
Still…
This new year
is different
I can already
feel it’s difference
just coming
over the horizon
So
on this
last day
of
My Year of Loss
I find myself
asking
for more courage
more grace
under pressure
And the gift
of healing
for myself
for everyone
