Wise Owl Lady Poetry from 12-22-2013

'It's Ironic when  look at Who I was then,
And the woman that  I am now,
How changed I am...
I used to think,
I could run from my past,
Escape the pain, heartbreak, insanity, and darkness,
But  I found out that when I faced my past,
I fell down upon my knees,
And let down my shields,
I was alone and I just let it all out,
I cried tear upon tear until a light,
Shined down upon me...
I suddenly was able to forget
my past, my guilt, my loss, and my tribulations,
I woke up and saw my strength,
I saw my reflection...
I saw my Father...
I found Jesus,
I broke through these spiritual barriers,
These tests of faith are for a lifetime,
My wisdom grows,
But so does the battle between good and evil,
The mind versus the heart,
Dreams, perseverance, love, charity,
sacrifice, leadership, commitment, strength,
Companionship, nature, spirit, willpower, faith, and prayer. 
Never forget those things.
