Soft Is My Destiny

Soft is my destiny, gentle Never rough, nor tough nor hard Fresh as the daybreak, alive Diverted, the approaching storm Happy landings now greet me, open arms Gone, the fearful take-offs, the turbulent flight Soft is my destiny, gentle Safe in Love's arms, unharmed

This poem reminds me of my flying days and the chaos we had to deal with during bad weather Gershon. A tranquil ending! Lovely. ; ) xxoo

Were you a pilot? … I think that somehow you are still piloting, Connie---navigating your way through early middle age... Am I right? (---Of course, I am. You can't possibly deny it and won't, will you?... a chuckle here). Peace and joy, Gershon

That you are delighted is true (positive!) poetic justice, as I am so often delighted and enthralled with your wondrous poems, nette. Thank you so much for letting me know how you feel. Best wishes, Gershon
