Notes About The Poem
Andrea Dietrich's A 5-Liner on your Life Poetry Contest... submitted 18 Mar 2025

The Story Of My Life

When seasons glide along life's dream
to raise the kiln of compassion...
a healing smile, a touch agleam
can nourish hearts' indecision
my students... flamed with a vision!

Nette, as I first started reading and came across "kiln" I was wondering what you meant...but that quickly resolved in a remarkable way with the rest of the poem. This is truly a the story of what we go through in life....trying to figure out what to do. If you help others in any way with this important question, what a great service accomplished! Smiles!!!
