Illustration reference: “The Letter”
Agnes M. Cowieson (1880 - 1940)
To have your heart broken is weight you can’t bare
It’s as if your life has been sucked of all air
Where once there was faith there is sense of betrayal
Your stout-hearted train has now run off its rails
Of all the pain life can throw at you, none’s worse
Than being abandoned, makes you feel like you’re cursed
But let’s take a moment, be still with your thoughts
Things done and undone, left connecting the dots
Experience tells you that nothing goes wasted
Letting in, letting go, your pride getting chastened
To open your soul to another is hard
Yet don’t be afraid once you’ve let down your guard
Defining, becoming, who you want to be
When stymied by door that won’t open with key
Is one of the moments that offer you hope
You gain valued wisdom with which you will cope
With every sweet union that ends in a parting
Not beginning, nor end for your journey’s just starting
Let me share with you insight I have learned to be true
Just love who you are and let yourself be loved too…
