My photographs and memories
Remind me
Of the legacy of strength and dignity
That you inspired in me.
Following your template
I treat my enemies with
The same gentle politeness
You reserved for strangers.
Never descending to their level.
No insults traded.
No names called.
No dramatic scenes,
Instead
The calm and measured language
Of legal process
Bringing new order to despair
Justice!
Restoring my belief
That I am moving forward
As you would want me to
Taking with me
All that good between us
Distancing myself from those
Who seek to bring me down
At peace with who I am
Able to look myself in the eye
And to know that I have
Done the right thing.

Becoming better people one step at a time. Well said.
Easy to say and much harder to stick to but I cannot let these bad experiences drag me down. Thank you for reading and commenting x
