Much said in jsut four lines. The rhyme is quite effective in forwarding your thoughts. Nice dedication--Brian is such a prolific poet and so willing to help others in their writing journeys. I've read this poem a few times and still find more to ponder. Nice job! Thank you for your kind words regarding my poem. Blessings to you. Karen

Hi Michael Excellent write! I love the way you think. This tells me that in order for our percpective to grow we need another's opinion to take us to a place we can't always get to on our own. Loved it for it is so true! Thanks for your comments on my latest lyrics. I was worried folks might think it crossed the line a bit. Your comments made me smile! To cute dear Michael. Have a wonderful day, many blessings to you and yours hun. Take care. Love Light Truth Patricia

Interesting concept there, I usually think of opening up my mind to reach out, not so much as to let someone else in. And yes, we all need to see beyond the grind. BLessed is the friend who helps us to do so. Nice short poem, I enjoyed. SKB
