The ragged beauty of the indomitable spirit

 ❤️good morning beautiful world.  We are thankful because we are.  Each day is a little blessing and a lifetime❤️

And we are thankful for all the little things that loom so lovingly large

the ragged beauty of the indomitable spirit

some of us have not had downy soft lives.

we have stumbles, not all of our own making.

some of our battle scars are within,

hidden to the eye, but visible to those

who can see our breaking hearts,

some of our wounds are all too apparent.

and there is no looking away.

do not pity us. we do not pity ourselves.

we are too busy living.

we are survivors, still here to do battle

with the torments from within,

and whatever life throws at us.

we are here to love,

and to be loved.

we have not given up nor will

we ever.

we look forward, feathers or no

feathers.

perfect, not in our outer trappings,

but in the ragged beauty of our

indomitable spirit.

courage has its own

magical embrace♥
