How did life change you?

Nalah Monroe was my cue, that life was going to change and take on a new view.

She came like a fresh breeze, with intense winds, high tides, but with tender ends but still at sea.

I overcame so much and I’m still climbing, she showed me that I was like Kobe in the clutch, and that my soul was still thriving. As hard as it may seem, to see no way through, her belief in how I would care for her, made me see images of two.

One being me and how I had to get it together. The second being me as a bird with feathers. No matter how screwed up I may have felt, Nalahs’ belief in me never left. I may, in my world, been failing every test, but Nalah knew she had a safe place to rest. She saw me as her covering and how I could soar from one end to another. She saw me with tears but it never stopped her from smothering....me with her touch and embrace. No matter how frustrated, angry, hurt I would be, she kept coming back and loving on me.

How can one little soul do this?

She had all this innocence and I was the one filled with all this hidden stuff that I missed...she had the images that only saw me as qualified and fit, that I was ordained to be her mother and that’s all she needed because that was simply it. Her life changed me and I rest in this, she is my push and I will dwell in it, as long as my soul stays anchored, I will prevail passed the moments that feel like it came from the pits...of hell, but i have a story to tell and she is my change to push beyond where i feel i have failed.

Life changed me from the eyes of another, I have so much to give, and I owe that to my father and my mother. As a parent myself, I now how to reach down past the depths and set up a path where she can say I was there and I helped...her through. I stood for her and let her thru, I spoke with her and now she has a voice too. Nalah Monroe simply enhanced my life and forever I’ll be thankful, because I am anew!
