Liked the sentiments expressed in these lines - how true. Steel can certainly be found in gentleness, as oft one has to control their other emotions to make this one stand out. Much said in so few lines.

man this is awesome and you are correct. There is steel in gentle. Superb.

“gentle” is usually not a natural state and
there certainly is steel in the discipline
needed to produce gentleness. Good
luck in the contest.
