She awaited the day

A special one it was

expecting the magic

To blow a candle

To age and feel life

Perhaps closer..

To the deathbed

Nevertheless, the hope

And the gratitude

Of being alive

To see the sky, the birds

To smell the fresh air

It was worth it

To move on

To remember

The past hurdles

It was not in vain

Gratitude filled her heart

Tomorrow was the day

The day to remember

A special 18th

What awaits after this hurdle

Was definitely unknown

But would continue

Regardless

Hope was infinite

Struggles were finite

She slept peacefully

Knowing this

The morning awakened her

With the birds chirping

A strong day it was..

My my
