The Story of my Life

“It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.” E.E. Cummings
***************************************************************
 
                                           The Story of my Life

                              A stalwart pine tree battered by vile men
                           And shattered by the heartless hands of fate
                             I still stand shining, scanning the firm land
                          In life`s late hours and, though in feeble state,
                               With valour I bear on myself my weight.

Valsa George March 16, 2025 at 6:56 AM Though others may try to defeat us, we can stand on our own feet and steady ourselves, if we have the will and courage. I enjoyed the comparison of the pine tree shattered by adverse winds, but still standing firm on ground to your own life. Beautiful six liner! All the best dear Krishnanand.
