Some
moments
in life greet
us with challenge.
Uncertainty climbs
the ladder leading to
a tightrope, awaiting…our
internal strength and courage to
carry our hopes and wishes safely
across the frayed line to their intended
destinations. Through this unexpected
journey we learn to carry the light
of hope, so we never lose our
way. With determination…
we may trip…even fall,
but hanging onto
the rope lets us
hold onto
life long
dreams.

Beautiful writing, beautiful message, and beautiful format and style.

Determination of the mind goes such a long, long way, and you portrayed that beautifully in this one. Love your work here.
