This Moment

Christina8

I used to write from a place so dark

after the holidays, maybe I'm doomed to repeat

So right now I'll revel in love and reflection

And focus on family and our joy quite replete

 

Even though winter is often the culprit

of what seems to be a never ending type of sorrow

I am also aware that I will not give it strength

I will not give it another second of my life to borrow

 

I have recently pushed through and

made a few more gains on my anxiety

But anxious or not, Christmas is almost here

and making it happen for people is important to me

 

So, putting on hold my thoughts of uncertainty

And trying out all of my newfound liberties

This happy feeling is the only gift I need

For however long it lasts, this moment I choose to seize

    Beautiful, Christina. Absolutely beautiful. One of your best and one of my favorites. Your ability to overcome, even if temporary, is amazing to me and speaks volumes of your character. I love how you put priorities and joys of others, before your own feelings. Cherish this time of peace of happiness. Thank you for sharing.
