Poem for the retrieved pieces of my soul

Welcome Home
Welcome Back
Pieces of me that I lacked

Pain Grief Sorrow Fear
Have disappeared now you’re here

From darkness to light
No walls in site
Anxiety to peace
Retrieval to release

From a cocooned existence
Transformed to a butterfly
Facing the world with brand new eyes
Ready to fly
Is the gift you gave a laden soul
That once was fragmented and now is whole

-Pat Rice, Texas
