Blessings

Another new year is upon us but,
before she leaps into it,
 she'd like to take a few minutes to reflect
on the blessings God has given her this past year
Don't get  her wrong she's seen her share of
heartbreak and pain but,
she's learned even heartbreak and pain are blessings
She's as grateful for the pain as she is
for the times of joy

He's inspired her by sending her someone
who wants the same things they both want for her
She's seen a light in her spirit she hasn't seen in a few years and
to be honest she thought it had been extinguished forever
She's glad He knew different

She knows she's got many months of hard work ahead  but,
He's given her the will to climb the mountains
she wants to
She is a fighter through and through
She hopes the inspiration that has carried her through
the past twelve months
will carry her through the next year
She is holding onto the hope that this coming year
is her year
