FIRST PLACE

In another life I could be happy, have no grief or forever sad sorrow, would not have another day unhappy, wish another life could be my 'morrow. Would I still love the song of a sparrow ? Oh, would I still be a poem writer ? You see my life has made me a fighter, with a fire burning bright within me. Would I still be a story reciter ? Oh, in another life who would I be ?

Dear Constance, Oh how your words carry a wistful longing yet burn with resilience. The questions you pose linger, deep and reflective, but that fire within you shines through. No matter the life, your voice would still find its way to poetry. Beautiful! Winter Blessings, my Dear Friend, Daniel

This is lovely and it is deep. I know we are all exactly who, what and where we are meant to be, but still I ponder as you lyrically did above ... CayCay
