Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Neville. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It was one of those writes that I knew I had something good, but I never considered myself a poet in those days, I was a lyric writer and engulfed fully into songwriting at that moment in my life. I always believed a lyricist wasn’t on the same level as a poet. Even, Bob Dylan, one of the best lyricist’s of all time has never considered himself a poet. I think a little differently these days. lol. Appreciate you.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It was one of the first for sure, maybe even number one. I was a lyricist first at the time in my life. There were a couple different poems I penned in 96. I just put the year on my writes back then, anyhow there were a couple of poems scattered throughout my lyric book. Back when everything was handwritten. lol. I was just always pulled to rereading this one a lot. Appreciate you.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I do think fear has a purpose as well. I’m an overly cautious human myself, I don’t seek out confrontation, in fact I try to avoid it. But sometimes it is necessary to face one’s fears. Maybe a little grey around the edges. lol. It was definitely one of the first, if not number one. Appreciate you.

Harry Potter’s Cloak wasn’t meant to silence us from speaking out about our existence… that was Voldemort’s function.
And damn, he did it well.

Chuckling here, hi Fia. I KNEW you would notice that stanza, and I did as well EVERY time I reread those thoughts. Good seeing you here.

I believe it would be great for both. I only experience this world through the eyes of a woman though. So she was raised to be the fiercest woman she could in a world that often only sees our outer package

I’m constantly flabbergasted that she was raised by me. They are incredible indeed!

Thank you, Thomas

She’s on an upswing now but the pandemic took the wind out of her sails. As a fellow Pisces, you know the fluidity of y’all’s fierce nature. She will rock the world. Thank you, my friend

I did the best I could. I just wanted her to be strong in her sense of self. I never was and it took a toll. Thank you, Brenda 🧡

Given the right encouragement, girls are incredible forces to contend with. Thank you, Fia

It’s aggravating for her to have thoughts and not be heard because they’re focused on the wrong things. Some would say it’s their loss, but its hers too. And mine. And every woman summed up by her physical attributes. Thank you, Jim

She’s a force to be reckoned with. There’s not much I’ve done that I’m super proud of, but raising her is top of the list. And to be honest, she teaches me now. Full circle. Thank you, Styxian

I have my Roots to thank for setting an example that I was honored to teach her. It always comes back to the roots. Thank you, Naaj

She is my rock, my shining star, my inspiration and my greatest joy. I am indeed very proud of her! Thank you, Elke

For a long time all we had was each other. I chose to be her mother first, not a buddy. Now I have a best friend. She’s forbidden me to die. We’ll see how that goes… Thank you, Neville

Thank you, Bat 😊

Thanks, Damian. Good to hear from you, here. Cheers.
