Looking back I see

The baby she was, so innocent

The teenager so lost and hurt

The young adult unsure of what was next

I knew every secret kept

I heard every word uttered in her mind

I felt every single bit of pain

She was all of those people at one time

Now she’s in her mid twenties

With years of knowledge gained

And recovery and Jesus healed her

But she reflects on what was

When reminding herself what is right now

And that is contentment
