Good Things?
I did a good thing today.
I helped put someone's fears away,
Assuaged their self-doubt and helped them live without
drowning.
Questioning am I worthy?
She had the strength to go, lil blonde baby girl in tow.
This is not a horror story, her life was basically glory, success and comfort and smiles.
Superficially, well done!
Except the time had come,
She realized the reason because, he was... not.
He gave her the baby she wanted, red flags of narcissism, not thwarted.
Strength, Courage, Resolution! She came to her own solution. leave and yet be kind and save the family they craved.
Why did I do a good thing today? I sent TP, and a toilet brush, to the new apartment. Etc.
She called me a hilarious genius...
Happy Day!
