Powerfully penned, Brenda. Excellent write my friend. You can indeed learn a lot from observing I totally agree, and speak from experience. Happy New Year my friend. Appreciate you.

If I were happy all the time, I would not be part of this world either. Very introspective piece. Happy New Year.

Your words and message have so much more meaning then what we sometimes see on the surface. Here Brenda, you capture such truths and realities all into one poem. Exquisite!
