Marching on a Mission by Cindy Georgakas
Eyes on the prize, there will be detours, I’m not going to lie. Keep your focus, just for today, do what you say you will. Strengthen that muscle, for there is an end in sight. Remember to celebrate when you arrive, because, as soon as you do, there are going to be others. Don’t let the falls take you under, pick yourself up from off the ground. You made it! You’ve arrived! Don’t forget to say, “thank you; I survived!”

born anew
to live in such gratitude born anew – because of you
each sunrise feels warmer when you hug me – hold me
each garnet sip of wine tastes thicker – burns richer
to kiss those lips so full then swim again in those eyes
each moment of quiet reveals “us” in the silence
all goodness paid forward so selfless – such kindness
to be your forever born anew – because of you
alive in such gratitude
PS Conway
