With an understanding,
I wish I knew then!
I find I am listening more.
And hearing to comprehend,
With a patience…
I did not have before.
I grew because of you!
I find my time has purpose now.
And I can admit,
I had wasted most of it.
To mope and sit in utter selfishness.
And I grew because of you!
I grew because of you.
In ways I never knew I could before.
And…
So happy I am we met.
So happy I am I can reflect…
Knowing what you have left behind,
Stays with me and sits in my mind.
To encourage this life I live,
Is to do so…
With forgiveness,
And love to give.
Released unconditionally.
This is what you left for me to know!
And I grow,
Because of you!
