I Rose

Several years ago today
They reckoned me unbefitting for their ears
Per the yardstick of the day
Their percipience was disparaging
But still I rose

By their clairvoyance I was infecund
Plainly no reason to cogitate about me
For they could not glimpse any merit in me
Fate was for me to be unremembered
But still I rose

Like a seed that sprouts and becomes a big tree
I rose
Like a prolific plant that bears great fruits
I rose
Now with relish they can eat of my fruits
And realize the mistake that they did
For in spite of all that, I rose.

Beata Agustin Date: 1/3/2024 9:38:00 PM Thanks for sharing this. God bless you. Meanwhile, I greet you with a Joyous New Year with this prayer from the Bible in Numbers 6:24-26, "The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace."

Elizabeth Mccann Date: 9/8/2022 4:07:00 PM Cyrus, you bring me with you in this poem so skillfully and so quietly, the same way I'm sure that led people to underestimate you in the past. I met up recently with women who had been my schoolmates years ago. One questioned my real identity, now well known in my field, But, she said, shaking her head, you were a FARM girl!! Elizabeth
