In My Deepest January



In my deepest January, the cold winds spoke,


Of years that passed, of hearts that broke.


Two decades long, a heavy tide,


A journey walked with pain as guide.



Once, anger burned where love had been,


A storm of questions deep within.


But time, so patient, carved a way,


Through endless nights to light of day.



I could have let the darkness win,


Let bitterness take root within.


Yet here I stand, unchained, unbowed,


A soul at peace, my heart unclouded.



No thirst for vengeance, no rage remains,


Only the grace that soothed my pains.


I found my strength, I learned to rise,


To see the world with softer eyes.



Blessed am I, for love endured,


For wounds have healed, for faith matured.


Injustice came, but did not stay --


It lost its power along the way.



In my deepest January, I stand so free,


Grateful for all that life gave me.


Not bound by loss, nor weighed by scars,


But thriving still, beneath the stars.

Hope in the Shadows


When shadows fall and truth seems lost,


Beneath the weight of lies’ great cost,


A spark ignites, though faint, it burns,


The wheel of justice slowly turns.



The webs of falsehood twist and bind,


Yet truth resides within the mind.


Through every doubt, through every fight,


Its steady glow defies the night.



In darkest hours, strength is found,


When silence echoes all around.


A voice emerges, clear and true,


Revealing what was always due.



The path is hard, the journey steep,


Through buried secrets, lies that creep.


But hope persists, a flame unseen,


It fights for all that might have been.



So when despair begins to call,


And doubt seems stronger than it all,


Remember this: the light will show,


For truth and hope are bound to grow.



⚖️⚖️⚖️



Whether seeking justice, understanding, or peace, let this be your reminder: darkness is not the end. Breakthroughs are born in perseverance, and the truth, no matter how deeply buried, has a way of rising to the surface. Hold onto hope—it is the light that will guide you through.

The Waiting Grief

The truth may take time, but it will eventually come, as long as you keep your heart open to it.




There is a grief that never quiets,


not with time, not with tears.


It sits like stone within the heart,


waiting patiently for years.



A life left empty, words unspoken,


truths that hide behind the dark.


I carry memories, frayed and broken,


and bear this hollow, aching mark.



They call it “moving on”—but I remain


rooted in moments left unclear.


Though I’ve forgiven, though I’ve grown,


the echo of injustice lingers here.



I wait for answers, watch and listen,


as shadows shift, as truths arise.


For what goes around returns again,


and all that’s hidden meets the light.



There’s no revenge in this quiet strength,


no joy in watching others fall.


Only a hope that peace will come,


and lay its hands upon us all.

Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect. It means you decide to see beyond the imperfections.


"Count your blessings. Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward to the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage and confidence." ~ Og Mandino


If I could wish for my life to be perfect, it would be tempting, but I would have to decline, for life would no longer teach me anything.
