Just A Thought

Because my heart is still glad...
That despite the indescribable pain it still is smiling
Welcoming that which is traumatic
Welcoming the chances
Welcoming the challenges

It is when you falter that you learn how to stand
It is when you falter that you learn how to be brave and fight
That in each waking moment your heart is a trunk full of the good stuff
And you did a great job in choosing what's best, what's worthy, and everything else in between

No amount of alcohol could drown you away
No amount of sleepless nights can make you forget
That in the end you're still hopeful
And you believed with all your heart.

And then you say. Good night, good night, good night, and goodbye.
