I Am A Survivor

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
build a life full of love, generosity
no hatred, some anger

I am

I am a survivor.

Come Together

Come together
feel the pain
let it loose
to gather love
from all surrounding
loving you.

A walk alone
is never needed
hold the hand of those
that seek it
with gentle generosity
and kindness.

Together
you’ll go
to heaven before
around
and beneath us.

What Happened?

What happened to kindness, generosity and gratitude?
Are they still here, hidden somewhere or gone forever?

They are in our hearts waiting for each of us to let them free to be part of our lives.

Open your heart and let them soar.
