Balance

Lonely but laughing
  Broken but beaming
    Reeling but righteous
      Frightened but faithful
        Threadbare but thriving
          Grieving but grounded

Hidden yet hoping
Witnessed as woman
Lifetime of learning
Focus on future

Starting this second
Ending an era

Believing in balance

Listening to every heart

The alliteration
of this poem speaks volumes;
the heart of you speaks to me.

I know this hurt;
Yet I hurt this much...

Your poetry will take you very far...
for you speak from the woman of you;
and I would not dare tell you
differently.

A wonderful example of balance in every way possible!  You have learnt well how to handle suffering and how to come through it.  I am sure you will meet more suffering in your life, but when you do, remember this time, read your and your aunt's poetry about it, talk to your aunt and your friend, God, about it, and you will come through it and see the sunshine and green grass again.
