Juliet Ligon Poet Acrostic

Brave

Better to try than to never know
Relinquishing comfort for an unknown gain
Acknowledging what it takes to grow
Valiant within torrents of rain
Emboldened in the midst of pain

Andrea Dietrich October 8, 2023 at 11:13 AM I love your definition of BRAVE here. Wish you had bolded the letters of each first letter per line. I'd have given it second place. Congrats on a pedestal win.
