A past retold.

An echo of pain,

A scathing comment.

An emotion imprinted,

And the rest is forgotten.

I know something was spoken and that I was left broken.

But nothing more, do I remember.

Not of why nor how that I came to be torn asunder.

But my spirit dejected, I know that I once was rejected.

This is the story of my past and my loneliness that was vast.

Their words no longer remain, though still they sometimes bring me pain.

But here this now and do not weep,

For all of that has passed and is now gone,

Thus, it is not my future, nor who I am today.

Through those days, I was tested and came out anew and tempered.

Thus, like a sword, I was forged in fire,

And I am now comprised of strength, compassion and a loyalty that never dies.

 Through God, I was re-built, brick by brick,

And now through thick and thin, I cling to HIM.

Beware those that would hunt your hearts,

Children of God, Sons and Daughters,

Truly believe and remember,

That he is never far.

Perhaps today is another ember, waiting to ignite

But we shall stand together and win this fight.

For life is filed with strife and people who would do you wrong,

So do what is right and be a light,

So that you may shine Goodness and God throughout the night.
