Better Than A Sapling~ by Roxie Marie

Another year here and yes, I can see. The
other years past, like shadows of me. Where
would I show up, in the time ahead?
Shine on bright light, my soul will be fed.

So, wrinkles show now, like never before; and
where I was firm they fall to the floor. Yes laugh,
yes please do, it makes me smile too. To think
I would not have to walk in these shoes...

Well, now I am here and it's better than that. To
know who I am, the me who has sat
with many sick ones and held them inside. And
shared what I can, along this great ride.

I praise my own God, who only shows love.
Who only wants us, to know her Above
I wouldn't have thought it really would be.
When my journey began like a sapling tree.
