Dear Sara, I am in awe of the mellifluous wisdom and profound mastery of language that you possess. The English language, with its vast richness and capacity for growth, is truly remarkable. Your ability to associate such creative and poetic terms with each word is truly exceptional.

Courage is quiet that says so much, sometimes i see people who are loud to appear or come off as courageous, but i feel like the loudest can sometimes be the weakest beneath, not all those who are quiet are weak. Strength is contentment, that’s so true, its not always one can be contest, i love that last line too the alliterations! Brilliant word pairings and very powerful write this is! Absolutely loved reading this one! Your wisdom flows! Poetically and beyond

thank you, kind Ink, for your complimentary words. I agree with you. The loudest are probably cowardly. I'm grateful you appreciated the wisdom within the words and the alliteration. I'm glad, too, that you enjoyed the read. Have a fabulous Friday! Sara
