Birthday
15.09.2016
Living & forgiving
You might know
I write
What’s in my heart
I show
Not always polite
Thanks that you have come
Today, my fear I overcome
My fear
Of showing a tear
Today I don’t care
I dare
Thoughts & feelings I share
Today
My Birthday
I make peace
Start my 30th something year with ease
The present
I want to give
To you and me
To live
And be free
Today I forgive
Let go
And live
I forgive
The difficult days
You made me live
Actions and/or words
That brought me hurts
I forgive
I’m grateful for the life lessons
And two beautiful sons
My boys I forgive
Their mischief
Of course I forgive
I’m very very very very grateful
For the joy, laughter and love they give
From North to south
west to east
Last but not least
It’s me, I forgive
My self imposed rules, standards and expectations
Didn’t’ let me live
Holding emotions back
Unable to give
Spark I did lack
I forgive
I forgive
Giving up
Our dream
Gone with the stream
Of life
I forgive me
Not to be
The mother I imagine I would be
My best I give
Every day
That’s all I can do anyway
I know you all do too
A new dream
A better today
I don’t regret yesterday
I’m grateful to be the boys' mother
Wouldn’t want any way other.
I forgive
Let go
And live
I wanna be positive
A few months ago
I didn’t know
If I would live
But a stranger decided to give
His blood positive
Thanks to it I live
And I forgive
For you all I wish
That you also can forgive
Me, yourself and others
mothers and brothers
Forgive
Let it gooooo
And live
Let’s share a dish
Make a wish
Be childish and cherish
Before we perish
Thank you.

This was written with the intention to read it out loud during my birthday dinner. I didn't do it but believe that sometimes actions speak more than words and it was not necessary.
Reading a poem out loud is the next challenge on my list....
I'm sharing it now with all of you and hope it does something for you...
