Reconstruction

This morning I awoke
with water in my eyes
Full of gratitude
the war is over inside
Yesterday’s surgery
made me realize
That having a healthy body
is the ultimate prize
Still wrapped in bandages
but the cancer has died
And I’ve never been more sure
that LOVE is ALIVE
They could fill an ocean
with the tears that I’ve cried
But I would learn to swim
after a headfirst dive
Never knew my own strength
or how hard I could fight
I made it through the storm
with a faith burning bright
Lost some people on the way
who couldn’t bear the sight
And yet some surprised me
Who came back day and night
Nothing is too broken
to find its way back to the light
Thank you to the souls
who’ve touched my heart and touched my life
