TODAY By: Amy M. Kennedy This is dedicated to someone very special! She knows who she is! Today I broke free from your chains And I wiped away the tears Her love has made me strong Helped me to erase my fears So many years ago like a storm You ripped my life apart But with time and love She has helped to mend my broken heart No longer blinded by shame I can stand on my two feet I am no longer parlyzed by what you did No longer tattered and beat A smile has replaced the pain The journey was an uphill climb Together she and I claimed back All that was rightfully mine You stripped away my dignity Leaving me naked and alone But she has given me happiness A heart, love, and a home Today I broke free from the chains The demons left buried in the past And finally I am able to love And give my heart completely, at long last "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends." "Fate exists but it can only take you so far, Because once you're there It's up to you to make it happen." |
