Sometimes we look to closest friends, Expressly those who think we're ace: Let them confirm our worth but still Forget, inside us lies the proof. Actualization calls for a Command of strength and keen logic To shape ourselves, at last, to get Unknown rewards on our plateau. And with revealed goals, we take a Lone journey through heart and soul In our quest...a long safari, Zestfully seeking life's pizzazz, And a fruitful new arena That hones our talents as our gift. Inner joy promotes stimuli Of further searches, that lead to New trails of self-completion. Sandra M. Haight ~First Place~ Premiere Contest: Self Actualization Double Acrostic Sponsor: San Woo Judged: 11/13/2016

You are the only other I've read who used 'pizzazz' as your end 'z' word. I think your flow and content read easily, intelligently and are full of insight. Last line, did you mean 'to' or want 'of'? Trying to help, just in case, either do work. A fine and impressive job, Sandra! CayCay

Thank you, CayCay...yes, that 'z' was difficult! Guess we thought alike! I appreciate your supportive comments so much. 'To' or 'of'...thought a while, and I think your suggestion of 'of' is better. Thanks for the help! Hugs, Sandra
