POETRY/PROSE/COMMENTS BY ESTHER GARVI

A NEW BEGINNING

I lost my joy
But I did not lose my heart

I lost my hope
But I did not lose my light

I lost my strength
But I did not lose my will

I lost my wisdom
But I did not lose my hunger to understand

I lost my sight
But I did not lose my way

I lost my ground
But I did not lose the hand of my Maker

I lost my words
But I did not lose the language of my heart

I lost many days
But I did not lose my past
And tomorrow can never be stolen from me

In my book, where you're heading is definitively more important than where you came from.
The where you came from can explain why things are working for you or not;
but there is always a choice of what to do next.
Always.
