the snow melts where I walk

By Sketso

you may not see perfection,
or temporary brilliance,
but I've learned to take
one step at a time,
conquering through resilience.


consider it a bonus
for escaping a daily hell

    Great POTD and a wonderful succinct piece on dealing with tough times that just become part of your day to day living and any glimpse of relief never taken for granted. Top stuff.

    well we know my sight is skewed so perfect is not perfect and brilliance is always touched with something another might not consider 'all that'.... in any case.... this is just right, with a few lefts and all a/round edged oh so well

  • A former member wrote: Ich mag es. . . I like it. Very motivational without the fluff- right to the point, and it was very clever of you to skip two lines between the "nce" rhyme to keep the direct, to-the-point message.
