Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

The Fear In Your Eyes

Retreat from a bully?
      Won’t stand toe-to-toe?
    Then what awaits you 
      S’ a Tale of Woe

    Once he sees the fear 
      in your eyes
    That bully will pursue you
      ‘til the day that he dies

Thanks for another wonderful share.... Silpika Gershon Wolf April 10, 2022 at 7:41 AM For some reason, not many ever get this message, Silpika. Thanks for letting me know your view of 'bully vs. victim.' Blessings and Bounty, Gershon
