"A 365 Reflection" by Norika Nicole Barnes
Another 365, another year older
Seems as the days went along, my heart grew a little colder
With that my soul much boulder
from carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders
I got through the pain
and somehow weathered the rain
It wasn't all for not,
Eventhough I may have lost some I still gained a lot
And managed to stay so humbled by what I got
In this one year there has been many battles fought, some wins and many lost.
But with each lost it was only my perception of the world that paid the cost.
Each battle brought a new epiphany
Opening my eyes and mind to what I once could not see
With my eyes wide open I leave the past behind me
Taking those lessons learned into a new year on this life's journey....
