I wish

Advertisements

I knew what I needed to say today.

As the day goes by and things don’t work out the way I wanted it too.

But even through the disappointment, I saw and felt the day’s blessing.

I was alive to feel the bitter winds and to go inside and warm up again.

To think about the things that are present in my life.

And the things that have not been present in my life and be happy to leave them in the past.

I wished for better things and did better because I knew change was good, even if change still sucks a little.

I am here, and as long as I do what I love, all the things that hurt my head and heart won’t matter.

Some things on my path do not define my beginning or end of life.

  1. Sarah W – I am a primary teacher with a passion for writing short stories, poems and other scribbles. Some of my work is pure fiction, some is real and raw. The beauty is, only I know which is which! I live in Australia with my husband and two dogs, Archie and Bella.
