In Retrospect: Two

In Retrospect 

I'm glad I chose friendship in
the midst of disagreements.

In Retrospect 

I’m glad I realized I wasn't perfect 
and took ownership of my flaws.

In Retrospect 

I’m glad I took the time to find me
although I still discovering myself.

In Retrospect 

I’m glad I realized how important 
it is to confess LOVE as often as 
you can

In Retrospect 

I’m glad I found the gift of poetry
because it continues to heal and
fill my soul.

Hello Alexis. You truly expressed and emphasized In Retrospect which was good to give it strength and meaning. May good over evil win each time and may love over hate win each time as well. And yes the winner is poetry for it is good and it is love. Well done
