I didn't get to enter John's contest, but I wanted to post this for him.

Like Humpty Dumpty we all fall, but faith will help us climb any wall.

Hi Lin, I am sure this one would have done well in the contest. It is true that we can all fall and that Faith can lift us back up and climb any wall. Faith is always the key Lin. Love your Monoku, you always do this type of write so well It is always great to see a new write from you on the soup. An excellent Monoku. Has to be a seven. Hugs....Mike. XX

Thanks Lin very encouraging and so true! How many times we have fallen but our faith lifts us up and we rise again to meet the next challenge! Too bad you missed out on the contest this would have placed well, difficult to squeeze in a rhyme, but you did well!All the best! Take care!
