Ode to Life


I am happy to say I’m content with my life,

I’ve traveled the world and lived abroad.

I’ve been blessed to be a mother and wife,

Enjoying fine luxuries many can’t afford.

I’m grateful for the path my life has taken,

For faith that anchored me in every storm,

That kept me steadfast and never shaken,

And forever grateful to have been born.

In every role, I found a place to grow,

Each hobby sparked a joy that kept me sane.

I’m proud I’ve kept my humble heart aglow,

And rose each time I failed, free from shame.

Yet one regret still lingers in my mind,

The doors I feared to open, left behind.
