Notes About The Poem
For Andrea Dietrich poetry contest

The Story of My Life


     She longs to do well        she wants to do     what's right
To rock all those that    hurt     in her insignificant lap
     Holding to Hope      in white knuckled fists          so tight
Yet   learning   to bend with the wind      and not snap
Maybe all she needs is for someone   anyone to clap
