find peace

through all my pain and sadness,
the light breaks thru and shines over me
warming my soul to the knowledge
that there is so much good in my world,
so much i have to be grateful for

my children, tho' not all with me
are happy and healthy
i have my own health back and
i am taking on the world
i am in command of my own destiny

this i must remember when times get rough
and they inevitably will
as inevitably as will the joyful times come
to find peace amidst both extremes
this be the only thing that really matters...
