Listen to poem:
Choose wisely your what guards your heart; for we are products of our environment.
Written: October 21, 2023, For Miranda Hawley Contest ________________________________ We must mightily mold matches in this life. Actions must be taken to forestall strife. We stop at every junction to demarcate. What we decide will determine our fate. Our upbringing has a significant impact on us. Those who belong to us shape our solid fuss. Be wary of who you let into your inner circle. Because their vitality could be a hurdle. You should stay away from the negative. Things that are poisonous and deceptive Smacking serves the strength to spread. And impel your emotions to grow in dread. Avoid those who induce stress at a distance. Who twists a grin into a gesture of riddance? Wrap yourself in a quilt of affection and rely And witness your spirit soar across the sky.

A very positive advice, Sotto. We must beware of evil persons. Like the example of the rotten apple that contaminates others. Our choices should always be correct. Blessings.

Wow dear Sotto, i felt like this was an answer from above, as these words resonate and speaks so strongly for me! Especially “ Be wary of who you let into your inner circle” wow! Yes it is often the ones closest to us that end up being so toxic to destroy our inner peace, they find our weakness and use it against us to manipulate and hurt us in ways. Such profound lines throughout this very well crafter poem! Your words flow so seamlessly too and this definitely is a favorite for me. Goodluck
