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.

with the blossoming of Love....pain can no longer shove....even though at times there may be a push or two....but really, they only serve to encourage you....to be better at what you are....we can both be each other's star....and the only way our shine can find light....is for us to both never give up the fight....wonderful write deja....;)
