A Believer 10/12/2022

Found meaning in pain
Not something
I sought
Twas’ a by-product
Of healing my loss
Making me
A believer
Of life after death.

Twas’ a difficult journey
Healing my grief
Worked hard
With focused intentions
To make it happen.

Filled with wonderment
By the compassion
And love
Found within my heart
While befriending
My pain
At the core.

As wisdom
And understanding
Enfolded while healing
Found special gifts
Within
Making me want to share
With others tenderly.

Each morning I awake
With a smile in my heart
Knowing my purpose
For living
Is helping wounded hearts
To learn
And heal themselves.

Making me a believer
Once again
That God’s love
Is always with us.
