A Poem Written by Vivian Ennis 11/19/04
I found something the other day
I wasn’t even looking
It may have been there all along
or hidden out of sight
I was surprised when I found it
because it made me feel so good
and from the moment it appeared
I knew I would then be alright
There was a beauty that came along with it
and my eyes were finally open to the possibility
that it had been there all along
perhaps I didn’t see it before, because I had felt so broken
The traits that I saw inside this find
was a beauty of another kind
love and laughter came along
and the ability to be OK when things went wrong
The energy that surrounded it shined so far and wide
and there was unconditional love and sensitivity
with no need for foolish pride
I felt a feeling as if it had been there all along
and I did not notice it because I felt like I did not belong
I found it while I was alone, it was beautiful to see
and when I look a little closer, I realized it was me
