I want

to be whole,

a beacon

of light.

I want

to embrace

my gifts

in life.

I want

to feel

my strength

take flight

I want

to heal

my soul

from strife.

I want

to be whole,

a beacon

of light.

Beautiful, Sue. I have a wound I need to heal before I can become that beacon you speak of, but I'm working on it. Thanks for the inspiration.
