Analysis of My Spirit Enthroned



Surrendering very little back to life,
  the time became solely my own

Which I spent on myself and the ones I loved,
  protecting what inside was my home

The years raced along with my memory endowed,
  regrets being seldom and few

Each choice that I made—every promise I kept,
   my spirit enthroned sovereign and new

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2019)
