Poems from the Heart for Hope and Healing: For Those Who Have Experienced Estrangement from a Loved One
()
About this ebook
I knew I was healing
One limb at a time.
My sorrow was drying out
One tear at a time.
I was shouting for joy.
I was shedding my skin.
I was becoming the person
I knew was within.
