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.
