New Kind.
Created by almighty Love's hand
to enjoy who I am
I try to grow daily in admiration
of my own being.
Not ashamed of known truth
no more do I strive
to be faceless, grey-souled and
helpless with need
on the real me I want to feed.
I am Passion revived.
Glad overtaking regret pulsates
with force of survival.
Smiles infuse drab, attract things
which delight and
freely transport reasons to find
broader highlights in
my recently made-over eyes.
I know zest should never belong
to anything joyless.
Passively yielding appears now
to defile aims
of fresh Self who quite buoyant yet
subtle inside sees
need of commitment to more
firming empowerment.
Heartbeat submitting to nothing
but pleasure of giving,
I willingly celebrate my second version
mirrored in small
beginnings of person-improvement yet
whom Love is revealing.
Recycled I may be but I like
the idea of this freer, more enlightened
new kind-of-me.

And a wonderful new glorious you is the source of this great write Fay.
A fine write Fay. There are things that can come in to distract us: 'What about this or that?' 'What about tomorrow?' 'Something's bound to go wrong I bet', etc. Negativity, hurting, hating, harming oneself, can all come in. Yet to live one day at a time, to be ourselves each day, though not in an escapism sort of way.
Thanks FAY ~ I so love the new kind of YOU ! Y our love for life & love & GOD and His wonderful Creation ~ Love the Poem ~ the Picture and the New Kind of You ~ You are altogether lovely. Love all Your Poems & Pics a real Cornish Tonic each day. Yours as ever BRIAN
Feels like from worm to butterfly, a beautiful transform.
Beautiful write, Fay!
The ability and strength
to know yourself is a gift!
You certainly deserve all
the best that God

Wishing you all the best!
Enjoy to the fullest!
