I thought I could not write
If I was not saddened or depressed
That contentment in my life
Would equal to my poetry meaning less.

But today a dear friend challenged me
That it is about my happiness I should write
Any friend who really knows the real
Knows I can never back down from a fight.

So life has changed considerably
Since I was around here last
I have cried and I have laughed a lot
As always time goes by so fast.

A lot in my life has somewhat improved
I feel so much happier with and within myself
I've started to accept and move on from the past
I'm leaving it behind with everything else.

We have settled in this bustling new city
And started to build a beautiful family home
My boys are at school if only you could see them
My little men just how much they have grown.

My relationships have strengthened
In all different aspects of my life
I love being a mother and a daughter
And an unconditionally loving wife.

I've come to a point of acceptance with myself
Each rounded curve of self-confidence and esteem
I'm keeping mindful of my lessons learnt
Of what I have been through and what I've seen.

But all in all I have felt content
So I have not felt the need to write
It's not that I stopped caring
Or that I ever really left this site.
