THEN I DID

There were some nights
I never saw the stars
And there were some days
I never saw the sun
And there were some dreams
I never saw this far
    And then I did
    And there it is

There were cold sweats
Spent in hot days alone
Yes, there were some times
that was only full of me
And there were many days
I never thought I’d live to see
    And then I did
    And here it is

And there you are
And here am I
Never thought I’d come so far
But here we are!
And two are one
and two are three
Oh, and here are we!
For all to see!

Oh, and you and me
And we did!

THEN I DID
Written May 18, 1998
Inspiration
This poem is a reflection of my arrival from suicidal thoughts and clinical depression to a happy marriage with a new son.  There was a time where I thought my life was literally at its end, and it is strange how life takes different turns and delivers you to a new place, if you just let it.
