Healing

My life should leave its mark:
Evidence that I existed
More than my scars
Or disappointments
More than every day life
And doing and being.

My life should leave a mark:
Not the pain of my childhood
But how I perserveered, not the
Scars of my son’s death
But how I honored him by
Moving on.

What a beautiful poem about healing Judy. You are really and icon for me in this area of healing emotionally.

Victoria said...

Yes Judy. You are a great example of a person not being defined by her pain. The important things aren't what happens to us, but what we make of them.
