Despite Sacrifices Done

Stillness is invited in the mind of one,
Who obtains a peaceful existence...
Over a period of time that comes.

And accepting that everyone,
Has their share of setbacks...
A heart once burden,
Begins to learn that fact!

A freedom to be oneself and no one else,
Is a satisfaction gained and maintained...
Producing a certain pride that is felt!

It is a glorious feeling,
To appreciate one's life.
Despite sacrifices done...
Returning with enlightenment,
To brighten one with a deepened insight!
