I wrote this poem a few years ago for myself during difficult times❤️ In the quiet dawn, where shadows creep, A heart awakens, yearning deep. With trembling hands and a fragile soul, You step into the light, seeking to be whole. Each morning’s sun, a whispered prayer, Promises of strength linger in the air. Through echoes of the past, you bravely tread, With love as your compass, where angels led. The walls may feel like they’re closing in tight, Yet within their grasp, you find your light. Each tear shed is a seed you’ve sown, A testament to battles fought and courage grown. Lean on the arms that reach out to hold, Know you’re not alone in this story told. In the company of others who wear their scars, You’ll find the constellations hidden in your wars. The path may twist like a winding stream, But within each struggle, lies the heart’s gleam. Remember, dear friend, with every step you take, You’re knitting together the pieces that break. When fears come rushing like waves on the shore, Hold tight to the hope that blooms evermore. For in every setback, there lies a grace, A chance to rise up, a time to embrace. With loving whispers that dance in the air, Support wraps around you, tender and rare. You are more than the battles, the struggles, the stains, You are love in motion, through joy and through pain. So breathe, dear heart, let the healing begin, With every new dawn, let the light pour in. For strength is not solitude, but courage to find, The beauty in others, and the peace in your mind. Celebrate each moment, no matter how small, For in this journey, you’re destined to stand tall. With love as your anchor, compassion your guide, You’ll find a new world waiting on the other side.❤️ With Love❤️ Always Mark One of my photos from China
