A Life Reclaimed

Free—spirited, strong, and confident 
Teardrops falling down and weakened
soulful cries no more

She realized that to be more alive
She had to be less afraid 
And she did it

Farewell the past! Dreams now left to explore 
Jamie, living life....on her terms
No anchor to hold her down

Pretty as a delicate rose, kind and loving
with a bit of sassiness
But can be vicious and ready for war

She's had troubles, she's rebuilt 
Faced dark challenges, and overcame
She's earned her crown

Sustained with the love of family 
Bonds built from abiding love

Those who may speak their bitter,
twisted lies, tread in the very dirt
Still, Jamie shall rise

Everything with determination, heart, courage, strength,
and confidence

Jamie, beautiful and wise
A Life Reclaimed
