For YOU I Cried!

article image placeholderUploaded by @DAKelley
For you I Cried by D. A. Kelly for the first time today for you I cried. I cried for you today for the first time did someone bring up the past? No, that wasn't the reason and I wasn't searching for answers or trying to relive that season. But like I said today I did something I thought I'd never do. Today I took the time and I cried for you. Now I know what you're thinking why cry now? It's been over 20 years

Wow. Old feelings, but fresh tears and new ideas. That's what that's about. And how lucky that person is to be in your heart and mind right now, 20 years later. Wow. That's beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this and inviting me to listen

Thank you so much for listening. I so much appreciate that. The funny thing about that piece, and I use funny very lightly, is that person is a 20 plus year ago young me. So it's pretty much me today looking back at a young Denise and now knowing what to cry for because I didn't know what to even cry for 20 plus years ago. I didn't even see didn't see half the things that I see now when it comes to life

I couldn't see before. I couldn't see. My vision was blurred by everything that I wanted to do, everything that I thought I was supposed to be. And now I've walked and journeyed past that, and I can finally just look at life and see it for what it really is and what it really represents. And so now I notice that when I cry now, the deepness, the richness of my tears is so much more

I'm just glad that I got a chance to hear that and to be a part of this thread because it's amazing and it touched me and it made my evening just listening to that and identifying with it. It was just a beautiful moment. So this is going to be one of those moments that I file away and I keep but I hold very dear and I will look back on and think about when I am perusing through all of the most amazing scenes from my life
