At first glance, it may seem
that the life I lead today
is the one I've always lived.
The moments that caused many tears
are those that now gleam beautifully.
Those charms on my life's bracelet
are the ones I can talk about
and measure how far I've come
from those days of endless sadness.
Those charms on my bracelet gleam,
cleansed from ever being overlooked, disregarded.
My love, my boys, my family.
These exquisite charms; priceless, delicate, breath-taking,
always make me feel as though
this is the enchanted, wonderful life
I was always meant to live.

beautiful! My daughter handmade my "charm" bracelet for mother's day (and called me charming). I'm thinking about it now :) Life really is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWow, to feel like you live inside an enchanted, wonderful life is really a gift! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful thoughts on keeping our perspective ~ Remembering what we've come through is so important in helping us appreciate the 'now'!
ReplyDeleteI love this. Being able to to see how far you've had to come to get where you are...priceless :)
ReplyDeleteWithout that sadness, these charmed days wouldn't be so enchanting and precious. Beautiful tribute to having come so far.
ReplyDeleteI always love your Six Word Friday posts (why do I never do them? I wonder...) and this one is no exception. And I love my own charm bracelet and the way it tells my story - of who I was and who I am. (I sometimes wonder what my next charm will be...)
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday, girl!
I love "Those charms on my life's bracelet" - what a beautiful analogy. My bracelet is jingling and full today too!
ReplyDeleteThere's a history to your charms.
ReplyDeleteThat's what makes them so precious.
