Downsides Deflated

Though there are a few downsides in my life
The good still outweighs the bad
Love’s never deflated

The kimo form is new to me, Russell, but your wisdom is passed along eloquently in this write. As long as we have love, the good wil outweigh the bad. Great work! Love, Carolyn

I don't think I have ever written one of these kimos...it seems as tho you have written a powerful message to go inside a fortune cookie! I like the strong word choice at the end...deflated...as a great substitute for defeated! I see this image of a deflated heart unable to beat....not yours though. Much enjoyed. Hope today is startin' off awesome. Gwendolen.
