Where there once was me

There's void where there once was presence
And in the place of plans, chance has taken over
Where there once lived a little girl, her reminiscence
And where there was disbelief, now grows wonder
And time after time, change after change
Nothing remains, but a deep rooted trust
That everything ends only to beging anew
And we all, in more ways than one, do too
So the tears that may have been fought
May soon enough be thoroughly sought
For no tear dries on its own, alas
Except for the smile it brings at last
Where there once was sorrow, now prevails hope
And in the place of hurt, you can only feel forgiveness
Where there used to be a broken heart
Now I stand free
