Poetic attempt

All at once I knew
Life was brand new.
All that I had been thru
Was now in the rear view.

With open road ahead
and rest when I lay my head,
My heart and soul are on the mend,
pain and sorrow are all but dead.

Future adventures call to me;
by name they set me free.
Freedom to dream and not to flee
as I praise on bended knee.

A new joy has awakened my soul,
I know darkness will not take me whole.
From above, light reaches down like a rescue pole;
heartache will no longer take it's toll.

I step, one foot in front of the other,
I thank God that I am a mother;
that my husband says,"There is no other."

and that it is all in the hands of my Heavenly Father.
