Now and then 5-31-24

 To Jason,

 Two years ago I met an amazing man.  The nerves almost got me, but I’ll continue to hold onto your belt loop.  I’ll hold your hand, hold onto our love., and hold onto the future of us.  

Happy 2 year anniversary!  

With love,

Your Honey Bee

Now and Then

Now I see what I needed

Now i see what I’m worth

Now I see  how I matter

Now is when I see what you saw

Now is when I believe in myself 

Now is when I learn  value

Now is how I have grown

Now is how I see joy in life

Now is how I try to love others

Then is when I was scared

Then is when I survived 

Then is when I didn’t know my future

Then is what I don’t want to be 

Then is what I learned from 

Then is what I struggled with 

Then is who I had to be 

Then is who I was with a mask

Then is who I was -unimportant 

With you I am ok

With you I am loved

With you I am accepted 

With you I found love and protection

With you I found joy and courage 

With you I found myself 

With you I see hope and promise 

With you I see openness

With you i see truth and growth 

With you I will look for better in life 

With you I will look and not hide

With you I will look to the future
