Alone…
Lonely days and empty nights…
Cautious dawns to set to rights…
Silence…
Hesitant reticence…
Hope for resilience…
One is here and one is gone…
Even though no one was wrong…
Put one foot before the other…
Take a breath, then another…
Silence…
Seeking God’s guidance…
Like a single boat close to shore…
No need to ask for more…
Another dawn, another day…
Searching for a different way…
To go on…
Alone…

Deb, you are such a warrior woman. I can’t even imagine what it would feel like to be one with a spouse and then become one alone. Write your heart out girl, words are healing. Love and light to you Twinnie ❤
