My Destiny, My Creation

In this world of chaos

I find myself often at a loss,

for those who leave me wounded

and never know the cost.

I take comfort in the happiness

that I find each day.

I pick up bits of joy

I find along my way,

with my friends, my family

those ones I hold so dear -

When I reach out to them

they are always near.

The comfort of the small things

the beauty of the sun

the rising of the moon

when this day is done

brings dreams I weave into

a tale that is my own.

Inside my own creation

is where I find my home. 

So here I leave you reader

with advice I give myself,

don't waste a moment wishing,

put grief on sorrow's shelf.

Take hold of that you wish for

and make it all your own.

Pave the road to your dreams

with your hands - and your's alone.
