Hope springs
Gratitude swells
Thinking clears
As friends draw near
The dreams you thought had disappeared
Are not nearly as distant as you once feared
You breathe more easily now
Alive with the knowledge of how far you’ve come
Knowing you were the one that navigated the turbulent seas
You were the one to gather round a formidable team
You learned the skills and willed yourself forward to live the life you truly want to live
One that gives and receives with such a greater understanding of what it means to be a human being
