What Was Left

It would be
Easy
To lie down
In the ruins
Of what was
Left.
To stay
Broken.
To stay
Sad.
To live
Anxiously
From day
To day.
But instead
Of concentrating
On what was
Taken
From us.
Why not
Focus on
What
We are
Left
With?
Even if
It takes
A little
Time
To come
Into our
Awareness,
It is
Healthy
To think
Upon
These gifts
And what
They mean
To us.
