I LOST BUT I GAINED

I LOST BUT I GAINED

A Poem by Christina Braceros

amongst all the distraction i lost what i had loved the most

but gained a lot more than expected

to lose is to gain being lost has a new meaning

i couldnt believe what was happening

my world fell apart

and now came back to different things in which i resolved in what was new

saw through my eyes clearly no longer my vision obscured by what has happened

i look to my future as different from what was planned no longer under control

the soldier was killed in combat to be resurrected

i shift and shift through my new life and see what i was missing now

the veil was lifed from my eyes

i see what i lost and see whats there to gain

and my happiness is owed to those who care

but are not of blood

yes i've lost but i gained

to be happy again
