When I Saw My Life Poem by Jeri Martindale

I was sitting in the dark when I finally saw the light, hoping that it could heal me; I reached out for my life.

I looked at it with no regrets, once I saw my life, hoping no matter how I lived that I had done it right.

I felt all that it possessed once I touched my life; smiling from here to the stars at what I saw last night.

I thought about the bad things that happened in my life, knowing they were good things that lead me through the strife.

I finally saw my future while I held my life. Feeling all the promises that are in my heart tonight.
