Strengthened By Death

My father`s demise , made me strong, Faced real hardship,which is not wrong, Being like a fearless bear, I soared to great heights before long, My fame spreads its wings through the throng, Death did not make me bare. Using Quote 1:from Jalaluddin Rumi(1207-1273) When the rose dies it falls open,spreading perfume.You will become a window for every house .You will be a rose garden in every field. Olusegun Arowolo Contest:`RUMI IN RIME COUEE `By Nette Onclaud
