The Voice Within

Because of You I am who I am because of you, I became who I am because of you. Without you, there would be no me, So thank you for bringing me. In everything I do, I try to emulate you, To make you proud, to honor you. I aspire to be the woman you were, Strong, kind, full of grace and courage, As you are everything to me. You are my heart, my guide, my compass, The whisper I hear in the quiet moments of my life. Your love lives in me, Guiding me, shaping me, Forever part of who I am. There isn't a day that goes by, That I'm not thinking about you, Wishing you were still here. Thank you for every lesson, every hug, every smile. I treasure our time together. Wishing I could turn back the hands of time, To get one more day with you, A hug, a kiss, or a warm embrace. But knowing that's impossible, I'll treasure the moments we shared. I love you always and forever, Your one and only daughter, Kristina Evans Written by Kristina Evans - March 22, 2022 -------------------------...

Every decision required a clear rationale. Every relationship needed a defined label. Every feeling demanded an explanation. I couldn’t rest in ambiguity. I needed closure, clarity, and conclusions. I believed th...
