On this day
years ago
my world and
life were turned
upside down

One word
felt like a stab in
my heart and
my world fell
apart

On this day
years ago
I had to be
stronger than
ever before
because my
heart was left
bleeding and
in tears

On this day
today I am
grateful for
the word
on that day
years ago

On this day
today I have
found peace
at heart
even though
I am still
on my own

Alone but
filled with a
little hope and
stronger than
ever before
at heart, mind
and soul
