My Life Poem



I was a young girl
Whose life got put into a whirl
It started with a shocking fall
Putting my life on a confusing stall
Many questions within me arose
Creating changes I could not oppose
Acceptance of self had to be found

My family put a guard on me
Refusing to allow to let me be
It was love, concern and care they showed
Though it challenged me to a faster grow
For awhile the questions hovered
And soon a possible solution was uncovered
Bringing faith towards a valuable life

I was told, “You have a brain tumor.”
From there I had to deal with things with humor
I had to accept this new discovery
And soon surgery was the answer to recovery
After the process, the falls still came
Making me feel like I had something to shame
I had to proceed with smaller steps in my life

There were many things I wanted to do
Though acceptance was provided by very few
When in a direction unwanted I was shoved
I looked for help from up above
I wanted to value what I was given
Use my skills to remain quite driven
View with a smile in my time of need

So on my path I did find proper care
A man who had acceptance and love to share
He showed that in me he had belief
Providing me in myself much hope and relief
He stayed with me and early we got engaged to eachother
Five more years and we married to stay forever together
A sign that acceptance does exist

We are now working together to build our life
And I am loving my role as his supportive wife
I am still searching for a role out there
A role that is safe, joyous and fair
The world can be quite a challenge for me
As few view my values and are able to see
Despite uncertainty, I continue to try

The reason I want these words to be shared
Is to encourage others to live fully, even to a dare
It can often seem impossible
But put your mind to it and what you want is accessible
Stick to what you want and continue to try
Never stick to the belief that you can’t, that is not an ally
Believe in what you want

I have an example of what belief can show
It is something that will help you move forward and grow
I will try to accept my situation and stand up tall
Forever with a smile I will get up from my falls
Many more steps in my life I have to take
Never will I ever stop trying, that would be a huge mistake
I will forever continue to be my very best
