Dear Alice. I hope with all of your hard work you now feel enriched. We know that money is not happiness. We are given life lessons every day. Though many never learn. Beautifully words expressed.

What beautiful poem raising a query or two poverty is to people but not to heart. Blackness is not bleakness, a black Star is one whose gases runout But black soul is one who fills light to others! Night is black but what's life Without night? Hence blackness is welcome 🌹🌹 everywhere!
