Taking time

to find myself again.

Life After Shirley,

Immersed in

a new realm.

Life after

Life After Shirley

Walking closely

with My Lord

and seeing her

as He did

Possessing

Once again

snapshots

of our lives.

Giving thanks

Seeing more

Loving more

Accepting

now

her sacrifice

Releasing

now

Resentment

at – Control

that I perceived

Seeing now

What strengths

She worked in me

The humour

She modelled

The need

To have a story.

We fought

Of course we did.

She had a mandate

From the King

Of Kings

To teach me,

Forge me

Shape me

For the task

He has for me.
