Be Strong For Me

Please be strong for me so we grow in courage marching towards the light Let this final chapter of our life together flow as aged wine Let’s go down in blazes living each day like we have no fear Thankful for the luck that followed us in youth taking nothing for granted Let us be the caterpillar preparing for its final resting place Have a dream beyond and faith in our heart for better times ahead Published in my 24-page photo/anthology ~THE POWER OF TWO~ 2020 AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on July 13, 2019 for contest I GOT A DARN NA AGAIN sponsored by LU LOO - RANKED 1ST and on July 9, 2019 for contest YOUR CHOICE (5) sponsored by BRIAN STRAND Originally posted on June 8, 2019

"Let’s go down in blazes living each day like we have no fear" - this is such a terrific poem, but I especially loved that part, Line.
