Be still my heart! I want to reach out across this screen and give you huge amounts of hugs. My heart is glad you have found hope, and though I cannot imagine the depth of the darkness and hurt in your family, knowing you can fight together... that is heart-warming. I love those last few lines as they are a simple but powerful reminder that love can give us hope and wisdom in times where we feel so burdened down.

Sending thoughts and hugs, always! <3

Life always gives special ones more challenge. Poetry is your stronghold a pillar to hold onto for you and others.
Wonderful piece.

Absolutely beautiful. Much love and peace to you, Andrea!
