…The Epilogue…


So now at last it's finally here,
And my tale is at an end,
And I really hope, and I pray,
That peace will become my friend.

I thought when I finally heard those words,
When he'd tell me I was fixed,
That I would feel safe and home free,
But dear me, I'm all betwixed!

Saying I'm cured, and all is well,
Doesn't make me feel secure,
I thought it would, I really did,
Because I can't take any more!

But though my head knows all will be well,
 In my heart, I feel it's not true,
And though I totally trust Adrian,
I still don't know what to do!

When I finally heard those words,
That I was in desperate need to know,
Still it left a niggling fear,
What if it's not so?

Now I have to tell it as it is,
And that is - I trust Adrian true,
For he worked so hard and strived again,
To do and achieve what he had to do!

And that was to make me safe again,
And keep me free from harm,
But still I have a nagging fear,
That I may once again come to harm!

So every day when I awake,
I pick myself up and dust myself down,
Stay focused, think on his words,
And not let fear cause me to drown…

For I am a person strong and bold,
Who has battled her way through life!
A life of hell – second to none,
Of pain, and fear and strife!

So I don't look to tomorrow too much,
Don't dwell on what I can't see,
That way I don't have to face the fears…
That lives in the heart of me!

I will beat back the flames of defeat,
For I really am focused and strong,
And now I know with all certainty,
That I will have peace of mind before long!

I'm getting there slowly but surely,
And my life is on an even plain,
Knowing in my heart of hearts,
That it will never happen again.

I just couldn't see it before now,
But now my eyes are open wide,
And when I look back at the past…
There are no more tears in my eyes…

I Know It…I'll Get There!
