(cont.)

(cont.)

Love this poem. I see that I already left a comment last February. Well, it was certainly worth reading again.
Lovely poem depicting the essence of taking things and situations in stride, a well articulated piece of poetry insightfully penned in poetic diction with beautiful rhyme scheme. Definitely a good piece written with conviction. Thanks for sharing Agape. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
