Coming back to this one. It's outstanding!

This is a true fact my friend! I believe that is when our character is developed, at least that is when it is shown! It's hards to go through these events in our lives but we must go through them at times, it's just a part of life! What a wondrous poem about just that Wilma! Great Work!!

Wilma, this in incredible! These words are very powerful and true. Character is something the world could use more of in my opinion. Thanks for sharing....Have a Great Day!

STRONG message and so very very true, Wilma. I hate to have to arrive at these AHA moments in life. I have failed one of them for sure!! Great poem, sweetie.

This is so true Wilma..I wonder why the last line of the poem is not in bold font.....kash

Always I think, well written Wilma xx

Wilma it's at those times we find out true selves...have a peaceful Sunday...David

So true and well said Wilma !!! Very, very good. - Have a lovely Sunday and new week. - oxox // hugggs Anne-Lise :) :)

Thought provoking write! You know, sometimes that ball is NOT worth the effort, sometimes its not only the wrong court, its the wrong sport all together. Strength, I think, is also shown by what we do after we realize we are human, frail and finally realize that we need help or a new direction. Loved this! Cyndi PS-- your words on my Darfur poem really moved me. Thank you for seeing my intent.

Wonderful words of wisdom, Wilma...I can identify!...Reminds me of that quote 'no pressure, no diamonds'...have a blessed day my friend! - Tim
