Very nice poem indeed. Deserved to be the poem of the day. 'I see a drop, another, then million drops It strengthens me It makes me grow For I know deep inside me I am still my old self'... is very inspiring. Loved it.

I love the resilience in your poem that says you will not let the world change the real you. This has brightened my day. We always are the same person inside from beginning to end, we only appear outwardly different as we grow. Congratulation on being selected as poem of the day
