Counting Airplanes

Out here counting airplanes—

remembering the places I’ve been

and all I have yet to see.

Remembering where I came from

and how far I’ve come.

Reflecting on the mistakes I’ve made,

and the lessons I’ve learned along the way.

Finally aware of who I am,

and all that has shaped me into this moment.

I’ve known hurt and loss,

but I am not broken.

I am resilient.

I am right where I am meant to be.
