RW1: "A year later"

I wrote this poem just two months ago.  In March of 2013, a person very close to me faced a fearful medical diagnosis.  A year later, in March of 2014, joy reigned over this group for new reasons, as the diagnosis was under control and new reasons for joy entered the forefront.  I wrote this poem in gratitude for this newfound joy.

"A Year Later"

March 2013
Fearful of diagnosis
A cake brings us peace

Confused emotions,
We all continue to walk,
timid yet strong

March 2014,
Honest Joy reigns over us,
A cake to celebrate.
