S eptember brought the faith I'd needed so long ago
e xperience has guided me, brought me to this place
p rayers answered, given a chance to heal
t oday, I live with a heart that is whole
e mbarking on a new journey with pride in my eyes
m arking a new start, determined, to smiile again
b reathing in the beauty of the world, truely living
e xperiencing love again, an emotion I'd lothed
r emembering my heartbreak, with a lesson learned
F aith, knowing that change isn't the enemy
a butterfly forever etched into my skin, a reminder
i n life there is tragedy, but there's happiness too
t hankful for my pasts lessons, joyful for today
h appiness brought to me, on the wings of an Angel
Author notes
I have come a long way in the past few years since I joined Allpoetry. I have learned lessons and have begun to live life again without greif in my heart everyday. I have grown a lot and am proud to be the person I am today. I would never take away the things in my past, even though the pain has at times, been too much. I am who I am today because of these pains and I'm learning to stand on my own two feet again. This has a lot to do with the support and friendship I have had here at AP and the friendships that have gone beyond this site. I am thankful for everything that God has given me and can for the first time in a long time say that I am happy. In September of 2006, I got a tattoo of a butterfly (for change, hopefully for the better) and under that the chineese symbol for Faith. (for the faith my friends have had in me and for the faith I now have in myself and also, the Faith that September brought.) Thank you Kimberly, for the chance to write this, it is truely the reflection of my heart.

This is a beautiful and positive poem, expressing a lot of useful and empowering life attitudes. I also enjoy the way you spelled the words with the first letters--and it's the first time I've seen it done with lower case letters as well as capitals.

Terrora,
We all learn from our lives. Some lessons are harder to learn than others.
Thank you for your kind comment.

I actually came up with this name because I met my very best friend in September and she was my saving grace, she really pulled me from the edge, right before I jumped. She didnt let me give up on myself, she was my September Faith Get it?

Lovely hun...just lovely...
The times will come when we turn in
Tis just reflection not a sin
A asking why for lessons learned
"For dual is life," answer returned
Each minute precious, time a gift
Lifes ebb and flow we drop then lift
And though it all new puzzle bits
As we learn we are a piece of IT
Hugs...Eddy

This is a great poem, but you're missing an "M" line.

I almost cried when I read this. No. That's not true. I actually did shed some tears. I remember some pretty rough times encompassing your life. Health problems, the loss of your child, heartache, you went through the darkest of tunnels and here you are... smiling and feeling good about life once again. You have no idea how encouraged I am by YOUR faith and YOUR perseverence. This is one of the most beautiful acrostics that I could ever hope to read here. Thank you for sharing it.

Kimberly, Beautiful Beautiful Kimberly,
Life sure has thrown me for a loop. To feel actual happiness again, is truely a gift. A lot of people here on AP (and beyond) have helped me to heal, giving me different parts of themselves, eventually, making me feel whole again. I am very glad for the oppertunity to write these feelings, they have been trapped, needing a way to get out. I look at my pain as a blessing now, a gift given to me to help me become stronger, for something, some greater purpose. I'm not saying that I still dont hurt sometimes, but pain doesnt consume me anymore and I am so thankful for that. I'm looking life in the face and fighting back.
I love you sweet one. I miss you so much.
With love,
Criss
