I extend my hand as you turned away
tossing the last few pieces of my possessions

I quickly fell to my knees grabbing hold of each
piece stuffing them into the green duffel bag
that once belonged to a man most claimed was
my father

Still I am lost, but one day I hope to find him

I am broken as I journey the streets unknown

You used the power to turn my life, my world
upside down, and today you’ve won

Time heals all wounds but we never forget

Today I am woman
I stand proud completely unashamed of the
world I left behind

I hear a knock and find you at my door on
bended knee calling out my name

Once again I extend my hand
as I open my heart, my soul
only this time you bear no resistance

You stare into my eyes with shame on your face
as I help you to your feet.

You ask me why…

In my humble response
I face you, and I smile

The “Glory” is mine to give.

This describes the day I was thrown on the
streets to survive at 14 with no place to go and
no one to turn to. It only made me stronger in my
journey to survival, and I held no hate in my
heart. I learned I am worthy and that all things
are possible when we believe.

For the short list of those that cared and have
always had my best interest at heart, I thank you
and wrap my arms around you with tears of joy.
For those that still hate and try to tear me down,
and that list for sure would extend from where I
live to the Himalayan Mountains, …know that it
only gets better from here.
See you at the movies!

As I turn the key, I feel my journey has just
begun…

Today for the first time I am free

I make my way pass the doors of the
crowded room

I see your face… I notice your lips, your
smile

As I make my way in your direction you smile

I Take your arms reaching out to hold me,
drawing you near

The room becomes silent as we lose
ourselves over come with the emotion we
feel inside

Today for the first time I am free

We pause, taking a moment to find our way
beyond the corners of the back room, then
up the stairs

We meet again, this time your legs wrapped
around my waist As I gently hold your thighs
in my arms, wanting you, needing you…

My heart compels me to think that I had a
right to be here

death was not my sentence.

A prisoner no more, locked within the walls
of my soul yelling, pleading, trying to get out!

Dare I question the man that I once was,
would be the man that I am before
but I am determined, and now I surrender-

“Father I stretch my hands to thee”

and then it happened,

this day I know…

Today for the first time I am free

*This is actually a revelation from a man that
was once in a coma. He lay with his body
frozen in time, locked within the walls of his
soul, trying to get out, wanting to be free. He
remembers his life, his love and longs to be
with her once again… to feel her, to touch
her. He had much to learn during his time of
departure, and renewed his beliefs,
surrendering himself to the heavens above.
Finally he awakens… a chance to start his
life once more, now much stronger and
wiser he realizes
“Today For The First Time I Am Free”
