I feel I am found wanting and dismissed; for times of great difficulty that I survived. For all the things I could not do in the circumstances I found myself in. My own creation? Or a longer thread played out from generation to generation. I did the best I could. I loved deeply.
Just what I needed to hear! I’m alone standing tall in face of everyone and everything I know. I have blind faith. I have purpose. I will not stand down. Xoxo

Don’t give up on love... it’s all that matters. When it’s right it’s everlasting ❤️

A powerful poem!

Yes, this poem could've been written yesterday. It expresses my mind almost exactly.
