On reading again, kudos are deserved for covering all of Life in 7 lines. Line 4, "trusting beyond knowing" is FAITH, & LINE 3 would include love for family & children. Amen, shalom shalom coach Bill

You wowed me with this one, dear Bill. Each line thoughtfully written and expressing such profundity. The last line took my breath away! You are the living example of each line, particularly the last one. You are triumphant, heroic, compassionate, and adventurous!
