Being Twenty-revised



You remember those grips
 of hurt when you first left,
 when fate abruptly changed its course 
bringing you in a place unknown -
but I was holding you through prayer 
cuddled by my tender taps
 of assurance and enthusiasm.

Yes dear. My fate was really to work away from home since I graduated. I was sent to Mla and worked for 17 yrs. Thank you so much for reading this poem. Blessings to you always.

Dear Len, feels like a blessing. It’s the "commencement speech" every young person needs to hear that when fate moves us "beyond own seas," it isn't a loss of home, but an invitation to find how much bigger our "home" can be. The best dawns are often the ones we didn't see coming. With love and a heart for the journey, Daniel
