Life plays with us,
tosses us up and
down.
What we value most, it uses
it as a scale for transformation.
Sometimes, I could not help
but wonder if only, everything
would have been well,
I would not have been
where I am now.
I have reverence for
what I have earned.
Yet, in my heart,
I miss what I had.
I am strong.
I have integrity for my virtues
and values. And I hold them
steadfast even on days of
blast and whiteouts,
while others would have
given up or broken away.
Yet, in my heart,
I pray good for what I had.
I pray good for what I have.
