A poem written by Patricia Henry

A Voice Is Heard

Illness managed,
moods balanced,
a whispering voice is heard.

Day dawns,
And New choices arise.

Can I choose to Live in my Present Moment and Fully be Alive?

Illness managed,
moods balanced,
a strong voice is heard.

Night falls down contentment and peace:
A day well lived!
Struggles faced and owned;
I moved through and beyond them.
I feel proud just to be me!

Night falls down contentment and peace:
We look up to shiny stars and bright moon ---
The Promise of yet, another New Beginning.
I shout 'AMEN!
I am happy to be Alive...
