I remember my yesterdays of a little girl happy, In my attic room this life looked so bright; I guess a happy childhood has no lifetime guarantee, It was up and down often it was all twilight. As an adult who survived I can look back with advice, Don't dwell on things and just let go, don't think twice; Advice for the little girl that was me to just let go of sadness, The weeping and the lamenting and the bitterness. Your destiny had been written in God's book of paradise, I say to my younger self, just live its all just a roll of the dice; Some people are meant to have many a hardship, For you it was sorrow that makes your pen drip. Oh younger me, your journey has been tangled that is for sure; I promise you the future will be tranquility and the past a blur. _____________________________ October 30, 2015 Rhyme For the contest, What Would You Say, sponsor, Alexis Y First Place

BW, I read earlier and thought I had left a comment, but I don't see one. I'm confused? Be that as it may, this is beautiful and touching with a gentle acceptance of things you have no control over and a positivity often lost by people who experience extreme hardship.

Letting go of sadness is difficult, but you got through it. This is lovely, and for me it started with the adorable photo you found to bring us into her world. Congratulations, BW.

Wise words indeed. You have so much heartbreak Broken Wings - it is a good thing we don't know what the future has in store for us but it is good to look back and despite our trials and tribulations see that we have come out the other side:-) good luck in the contest
