Multi-colored Memories
Looking back, what do I see
Multi-colored memories
Times both happy and sad
Led to the growth I’ve had
Tortuous times have taught me
How to live authentically
Periods of trouble and despair
Brought to me ability to care
A smile, a kind word
Perhaps a song I heard
Can bring grace to my day
Didn’t use to live that way
Previously life did involve
Material possessions to solve
Always feeling life was rough
I was not good enough
Now there is acceptance
Life is not happenstance
Striving for gratitude
Seeking positive attitude
Multi-colored memories
Have created authentic me
