To you, with love

Dear Me,

There are some things I think you should know.

You will wonder who is me…?

The reflection of pain will be.

In every pair of eyes, you come to know.

From the beginning of your time here

You will see you are not like the others.

And that will likely cause fear.

But it will also make you tougher.

You will cry harder than thunder.

And laugh lighter than air.

And just as you’re receding in battle.

You will look for security…and realize…. it’s never been there.

You will know dignity and strength.

And betrayal and strife

You will know, hopelessness and despair.

….And what it’s like to take your own life.

You will try to then mend all the broken that you see.

You will love the unlovable

Then Let the broken come and break me.

Now I know that wasn’t so warm,

So appeasing, so sweet

But if you knew of the rewards

Baby girl… When it rained, you would

NEVER…. have trouble Getting on your feet.

Because In EVERY moment, there’s a chance.

To change the way, you choose to see.

In knowing that you’ll know

Everything in between is just destiny.

And you’ll stop hiding that light.

For others content.

You won’t pretend to conform.

Not for a lover, not family ,or a friend.

If your one of the lucky ones, in this lifetime you might

See your reach.

You’ll praise the high heavens, for the storms.

That taught you how to teach.

You will bless the turbulent winds.

Even though at times, it was too thick to see.

Every shift, every change in movement

Brought you a little closer to me.

Once we are there,

The transformation is in unity.

You won’t fear EVER losing them.

As long as you have me.

The real Prosperity lies in the journey.

So, don’t become attached to the how.

Nor will it matter the who, what, when, where and why?

Only the somehow ......

To you with love,

From me with joy
