Here I will focus the writing on poetry and commentary.

( – for Belinda )

***

We have our heart and soul

Tested at every walk of life

For some we might bestow

Always a sense of vocal strife

~

Though that seems the easy road

There are many who choose to endure

We are magnificent to behold

When our humanity can be clear

~

I look upon you in your eyes

I see some pain so welled inside

Yet buried is that hurt; so wise

To give yourself to others wide

~

I only sense genuine delight

When by certain quiet chance

Your ills might be less a fight

While inner peace is your elegance

~

Strive on and continue, while we our duty

Your eternal strength, we see only beauty.

        Mission accomplished, hope fulfilled. I am very thankful you opted to write this piece. Still, I’ll never be able to adequately explain it. I grow a little more anxious for my tests, but if I re-read posts, it reiterates that I am indeed not alone. Thank you for being a part of that.
