Suffering And Joy Make The Leap To Ecstacy Poem by Almedia Knight-Oliver

I crawled on my own
Stood up along, walked
Laughing, crying, through
Confused teenage years but
Ups and downs of young adult years
Is where it seem I began shuddering through
Intense turbulence: poverty instead of a career
Less instead of abundance, marriage followed
several relationships respectively.
Believing things happens in there own time
All the while knowing that so did mine
With mindfulness and determination
The mishaps sizzled then ceased
Then like the Phoenix I rose from the ruins
Transformed and was reborn and I admit:
Transformation was near conclusion, but still
loving my brand spanking new life to the end.
