As I lay there and pondered, and stared into the night
A miracle happened, for I saw a bright Light
Illuminating the sky and the heavens above
And filling my soul with comfort and love.
Love is the answer, Love is the key
But the beginning of Love must originate with me
Loving myself will cease the pain and hurt
And in loving myself I will gain new self-worth.
I am valued and special, and demand the right
To be treated with respect, even in the night
I will honor my needs and heal all the pain
And my search for freedom will not be in vain.
The Light hovered over me and
nurtured
my soul
As I embraced all my strength and walked out of the hole
No matter the rumors or what people said
That old life was over and I left without dread.
I was given a challenge, a formidable task
In order to heal all the wounds of the past
I must forgive and absolve the fear in the night
For only when that's done, can I follow the Light.
The wounds will all heal, and the pain go away
To be replaced with Love as I greet each new day
I'll remember the lessons, but forgive the dark night
As I begin my new journey into the Light.

The
end
of
this
story
and
the
beginning
of
a
brand
new
life.
Although
this
story
ended
many
years
ago,
and
the
feelings
of
fear, hopelessness
and
helplessness
eventually
disappeared,
the memories
never
completely
go
away.
These
memories
can
sometimes appear
late
in
the
night
through
dreams,
sometimes
through
the
words
and actions
of
another
person,
and
sometimes
for
no
apparent
reason
at
all.
But
when
they
do
appear,
it
is
through
the
strength
and
power
of
God
and the
learning
steps
I
had
to
take
on
this
journey
that
allows
me
to
overcome and
move
on.
It
is
also
the
willingness
to
continue
learning.
There
will always
be
new
struggles,
new
lessons,
and
new
stories
to
experience,
but through
these
experiences
I
can
continue
to
grow
and
become
all
that
I
am.
What
happened
all
those
years
ago
should
never
happen
to
anyone.
No one, for any reason,
deserves
to
be
emotionally,
verbally
or
physically abused. For
whatever
reason,
or
perhaps
for
many
reasons,
it
did
happen
to
me. I
wish
it
hadn't,
but
I
can't
go
back
and
change
anything.
At
the
same
time, I
will
never
regret
any
of
my
past
as
it
was
apparently
these
lessons
I
needed
to
learn
in
order
for
me
become,
good
or
bad, all
of
who
I
am
today

"Only Time"
Performed by
Enya
Who can say where the road goes
Where the day flows, only time
And who can say if your love grows
As your heart chose, only time.
Who can say why your heart sighs
As your live flies, only time
And who can say why your heart cries
When your love lies, only time.
Who can say when the roads meet
That love might be in your heart
And who can say when the day sleeps
And the night keeps all your heart
Night keeps all your heart . . .
Who can say if your love grows
As your heart chose, only time
And who can say where the road goes
Where the day flows, only time
Who knows? Only time
