one day at a time

i am inhaling glowing love 

into my heart 

and exhaling back out 

to you

may it find you well 

and smiling 

and may it bring comfort 

if you are sad 


i expect nothing to wait 

on the workings of my space 

we all have to go 

at our own steady pace 


i just know when i come up for air 

from all of what is here

my heart will have scars and be bruised 

but filled with vibrant hope for joy 

and no one need have to do anything 

for i am responsible for it


my feelings are good

they come from a pure and sacred place 

and though my wants aren’t perfect 

they have no cause for shame 

for i have reasons and they are my truth 

and i am only a woman in the end 

I am my Father’s daughter first and foremost  

carrying the simple hope for a discerning friend 

and that is normal and okay 

it’s how we are made 


so i take it one day at a time 

and accept the blessings that are mine

give of myself to higher purpose 

make use of the body i am in 

expect little in the reciprocation 

and appreciate each and every win
