A letter to friends and family

I took a long walk
to feel the spring wind breeze
It’s all I want to do for my birthday

I thought of me
I thought of you
I thought of the stories I told myself
And I said thank you

“You served me well”, I said
to my guards, my pride, my walls
But now it’s time to let go
Now it’s time to grow

I look at the bright blue sky
And I thank God for all the love
An abundance of love

My intention for this year is to live my truth
Not to be the best, but to be more of myself

Thank you for seeing me
