Loss in Elm

Here's the thing with me

I'm an emotional person

But I'm not a weak person with no self esteem

Or identity

I know who i am and who I am not

I get devastated by loss

But I never ever stay there

Because I've lost a lot of things in my life

Starting from day one

I realize people and things g9 away leave and die

I've seen my cat get run over and die right in front of my eyes

Several several dead bodies

I've lost money

My home

Loved ones

A lot

And I realize all I really really have in life is my spirit and God and my life

That's it

Everything else can be taken at any time

And already has for me

So as much as I mourn and grieve and cry

I will be alright

Because I've been on my own before

I have done it and can do it again

I realize that God has a plan for me

Bigger than  I even know.
