I am finally seeing life in an entirely new way -
The clouds are dispersing,
the sky is now blue and no longer gray.
A type of re-births completely foreign to me,
has made my mind clearer now and I feel free.
Life has so much to offer us all,
but sometimes we don't see it until after we fall.
So many unforeseen problems and stresses arise -
Take a break from the confusion,
look up and gaze at the sky.
For so many years I gave of myself,
always leaving my needs
and feelings tucked away on a shelf.
Life is there for me and for you..
It has not been reserved for a chosen few!
I am learning that what life has to offer,
can be mine!
If I play my cards right I will attain them in time.
Life provides us with happiness and joy -
Don't abuse it, or lose it or play with it
as if it were a toy.
For one day it will be gone,
and you will never again hear life's sweet song!
No man can make you happy,
if you are unhappy with yourself.
Trying to make men responsible
for how we feel is self-defeating.
That responsibility belongs to us.
Everyone has the responsibility
to make herself emotionally healthy,
before they get involved with another person.
If you believe a man can provide
what you lack emotionally,
you may be grossly disappointed.
Stop looking for men to support
you in ways you are not supporting yourself.
Learn to care for yourself physically,
financially and emotionally.
Your man will enhance what you already are
and what you already have.
