My Goal weight

2/6/2019

2 Comments

 
I want to weigh hundreds of smiles,
Thousands of laughs,
And the weight of many miles
Traveled across oceans and seas. 
I want to weigh the seasons
And feel their heat and feel their cold,
 Spring’s biggest blooms 
And Autumn’s brightest leaves.
I want to weigh a million words 
That tell tons of stories
Messages that need to be heard, 
And prayers stronger than worries. 
I want to weigh every unit of energy
That goes into every day,
And every day that builds my life. 
I want to say goodbye, entirely,
To the gap between my present and past. 
I want to weigh the look you give me
That is filled with understanding and love. 
I want to weigh more than any scale 
Can ever see, 
My own beautiful, immeasurable history.

I absolutely love this. Especially the first 2 lines. I’m going to put this up in places where I can see it so when the ED voice is loud I can refocus. Thank you.
