That Smile

To blossom outward
Is to find a place inside
To become your own
Release your anger and pride
Welcome the new you and smile

Okay, I apologize for the delay, I had no clue how to respond. It is all making sense now. Thank you for your friendly welcome. It is very much appreciated. Happy to be able to find a corner of the world that I feel I belong to. Very excited to be here and to be able to share. I have been writing for about 20 years now, off and on. It is my outlet, my go to and apart of my personal meditation. You are a lovely friend to have and again I appreciate you welcoming me.
