there’s a shift recognized
goes unseen by most
a voice goes from commanding
to the whisper of a ghost.
rejection so subtle
goes unseen by most
a presence longed for
hidden now, door closed.

Shy, her shield,
Sparkling eyes never quite reaching
Those who find her,
Bashful, worn with grace,
Her words now yours
May be timidly drawn,
For those who deserve,
But written upon the skin
With wanton fingertips
For those who capture
Her touch, heart, her mind
And recognize the tingle
She causes
And willingly provides
Where did you go
The deep hum, of your voice
Followed me in, but didn’t
Retreat along side of me
When I fled. My expectation
Wasn’t fair, I know.
The work is hard,
Battle even more so.
Are you still fighting,
Does the war continue,
Did strength
Defeat in there?
Soft hands still covering
Fragile heart. Fate leads
a Warrior. Love will win.
Strong.
Duty,
Without your bravery,
I couldn’t be who I am,
Which is protected.
Pride,
Without your devotion,
I wouldn’t feel what I do,
Which is secure.
Freedom,
Without your desire,
I couldn’t sense your love,
Which surround my decisions.
Honor,
Without your service,
I wouldn’t understand sacrifice,
Which in humble graditude, I bow.
You,
Without your commitment,
I couldn’t be me,
Which I will love you for, always.

To all Veterans I want to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Yours,
Audrey ♡
Flourishing hearts
Sat among themselves
Learning from one another
How to go and serve others well

Try to remember to be kind to one another today. Serve those around you out of love and respect. Allow love to spread to those who need to feel it the most. May love change their heart. By doing this I pray we teach the world how to coexist.
