Poetry Tuesday: Eulogy

Eulogy


I was created out of love.

I was born into love.


I learned to think.

to Imagine.

To smile.

To cry.


I learned to speak

to share

to write.


I grew up, surrounded by love,

surrounded by anger

surrounded by sorrow

surrounded by pain,

surrounded by comfort.

I wrote.


I learned how to be me

to use what was in me.

Use my Strength

Use my independence

I wrote.


I learned how to love

How to care

How to be the best part of me

I wrote.


I endured.

loved.

trusted.

mourned.

I wrote.


I created children out of love.

I trusted love.

Love betrayed me, more than once

Love dissolved.

I wrote.


I held them close

I let them expand

I lost my way

and found my path.

I wrote.


I told my story.

I told your story.

I told a story, well, many stories.

I wrote.


I was here. I was always here.

I will always be here.

I wrote.
