An Aged Slate Made Anew
I've moved forward finally on that road; what a trail to traverse before me
There are many obstacles I've yet to challenge and so many I've overcome
It is amazing to see what lies behind me and the pride I feel is so intense
Not much else has changed for me except my outlook and acceptance of life
Skies are surely bluer and nights come easier with much-needed rest at last
There's nothing but the future and the many possibilities that lie at my feet
Cupid, though gone, sends his intent to visit me again with a promise of love
Whatever is to come, I must embrace it all with much passion unrelenting
In time, the sun of my heart will come out again; with its rays of refreshment
Thus will the flowers of my soul again bloom with the rain my tears of joy produce
