We are in a better place

'Baby girl, we are in a better place'

That's my mum's favorite mantra 

Everything will definitely fall in place soon 

Never did I realize the truth she always spoke was materializing for me, an optimism about better days 

And truly we were in a better place

Only that I didn't know 

Days without number,with ingratitude I wondered when our stars would shine

I groped deeper into my thoughts for reasons and ways for a better existence

For we have sailed through seas and climbed high mountains  of opposition yet we were unscathed

Functioning well like peripheral nerves supplying muscle groups

We had the calm disposition Jesus had on the boat tossed to and fro by the storm

We always managed to fall asleep inspite of the hard days and times when nothing took any form at all

Now like a reflex,

Ringing in my ears even before she speaks are these words,'we are in a better place'

My mum's favorite mantra

And though......

Sometimes I'm afraid of the terrors

Those terrors that give me a lucid progression that my life would be that of retrogression 

But her counsel roars

I intimate that......

I'm definitely in a better place

I don't have to hide for fear that someone would see my face

Neither do I have to beg on the streets for a dime

By Gods grace I'm in a better place

Although all my wants aren't met

I sleep peacefully for my needs are already provided

I am in a better place🎉🤗
