I truly thank you for your gracious encouragement. The trials and blessings of life are so much more meaningful when we can share our comfort and victories with each other along the way. You have blessed me with your kind words today. Thank you!

You write well, bringing together deep ways of thinking about life, sharing its calls with those close to us.This is an enlightening way of getting readers to look into everyday life and its trials I could feel your struggle in this poemThanks
