Dew like crystal
on my petals
ever gentle,
till it’s light
MichelleMarie

All to often
I have come to know
no matter where you go
in life there will be sadness
there will be pain
there will be times
of utter despair
I simply express it and go on
I never get stuck, though I revisit
I have learned nothing gained
in the wallowing, gnashing of teeth
and beating upon oneself
I have learned
to be my own best friend
I have learned
where my joy comes from
I have seen
what a kind word can do
So in my sadness
I offer joy though
none avails me now
but come tomorrow
the sun will shine
the storms will go
and I will say
Thank you God I made it
Me and My best friend Me!
