January 9th.
We have come a long way, haven’t we?
I remember when we first started,
I never knew it would end up like this
but I am glad for the growth
It’s a bittersweet experience
However, I am smiling more than I cried
And that's okay
We grew this past year, getting to know one another
Stepping on toes, speaking truths, fanning flames
For once we are on the same side
And the sun is shining brightly, blinding almost
Who knew joining hands would bring about much brilliance?
The hurts are no longer there but like an old wound only
When perchance sighted
Thank you for pushing me to aim for the galaxy
For standing when others pulled
For practical insights and upside-down philosophies
We can’t choose how we come
But we can make the best of what we have.
To another année
May your mind be strong, your body agile, feet swift
May all you ever need be anticipated and granted
By the Father himself.
