Footsteps To Freedom

A Reflection on Renewal

Check my heart, after it’s healed—

Once fractured by the weight of sorrow,

It now beats with quiet resolve,

Each pulse a testament to the power of time.

Where once shadows lingered in its depths,

Light now dances, weaving stories of hope.

The scars remain, not as marks of defeat,

But as inscriptions of resilience, etched deep.

Check my heart, after it’s healed—

The rhythm may differ, steadier, sure,

But its melody carries the wisdom earned,

A song composed in the furnace of pain.

No longer consumed by what was lost,

It holds space for new beginnings,

For love untamed, and dreams unfurling,

A sanctuary for growth and grace.

Check my heart, after it’s healed—

And find, within its chambers,

Not perfection, but a vibrant truth:

A life reborn, a spirit unyielding.
