"Exploring on a sunlit morning, in the front yard,
safe outside from what lay behind
the living room window where anxieties crouched,
ready to spring, I wandered near my mother’s
flagstone flower beds of forsythia, daffodils, tulips,
trying to forget trouble, sadness and quarrels.
I was touched by feelings I could not describe,
lifted by a caring hand, my heart soothed,
assurances of guidance into the future, a sense
of purpose, the person I was meant to become,
discoveries that empowered my future.
… the memory told me I could
gradually learn to conquer uncertainties,
make small accomplishments."
