Finding Yourself


Take your time

turning deep within

while you search

in your heart

for what truly reflects now

the person you are

Hello MLK!! Many Thanks for your read and kind words -- and your FAVE too!! I sometimes try to write short verses whenever I can, but somehow, the more complex ones always seem to come back into the fore. Best Always, Gary
