You will lose many things, it’s okay: Poem by Coletha Albert

I have lost many things in this life;

Sons

Daughters

Clothes

A 9 MM – Houston Police took it from me

An outfit while I stripped onstage as a dancer

Time; moments, seconds, eons, galaxies

I have also gained many things in this life

Love

Peace

Dignity

Safety

Decency

Respect

Regard

Majesty

Integrity

Lucidity

All of my memories

The one thing I always kept; My Faith

I believed in my family

When they hated me

I believed in my children

When they disobeyed me

I believed in my God

When I felt he abandoned me

Because of my strong faith

No matter what I could “see”

Elohim let me know

He always carried me.
