The Time We Are Given

Listen to poem:

these days our world seems to crumble all around us there's been a time warp a glitch in the fabric of the universe shaking the walls of our beliefs to the depths of our silence it's the truths that seem to ring the loudest over yonder we'll survive and for it will be stronger no we'll never be the same blindsided in our vulnerabilities if nothing else~ we'll never take for granted the tomorrows of our life Published in my 24-page photo/anthology book ~THE TIME WE ARE GIVEN~ 2023 AP: Honorable Mention 2021, Honorable Mention 2021 Posted on March 28, 2020

"Blindsided in our vulnerabilities". So true. Thank you for your encouraging conclusion, Line. I'm sure I will one day realize how much I have come to take for granted, and will vow not to do so again.
