True Peace

Existing in a world, where my heart was torn asunder.

The night my wife was taken by god, inside my soul awakened the thunder

I was broken and bruised, my spirit was tattered,

For the life I had come to know, in one instance was shattered,

Promises were made, and to this day, have been kept,

Many nights we lay holding one another, contently we slept.

The light that ignited, on the day that she did ascend

Has changed my life, and caused the life of my past to end,

A new person awoke the night after I laid my wife to rest,

A new chapter began, and it was my life's most difficult test,

To her I promised, that if her life ended, I would not take mine,

I asked so many times, for god above to show me a sign,

I began to push my body, my spirit and my mind,

I cannot begin to tell you of the treasures I did find,

Within the spirit exists a place, this world can never know

For It came from such beautiful grace, it can't be rivaled by the whitest of snow,

Personal power is something that must be cultivated you see,

It is not something that simply forms, it does not come to you easily,

Mistakes are meant to be made, for without them we cannot grow

Take the time, to show to others the right way, seeds to sew,

Act with patience, persevere, and don't fall because of another,

Train yourself, and remember the words of wisdom from your father and mother,

This life is not meant to be easy, for it was, then what would we learn,

It takes time to cultivate patience, and with it, insights you will earn,

Don't be afraid to be yourself, for your the only one of you created,

You were created for a purpose, so embrace it, this can't be overstated.

This world can be a place of happiness and peace,

In order for this to be realized, the hate and greed must cease.

Brightest Blessings.
