Hy, Dix, I have posted your challenge piece into it's own thread, this works the same as the main poetry board, as when we once tried it as a multiple thread...there were hardly any replies as it becaome confusing as to where what was in the thread and broke any discussion.
I am so pleased you have found that God has given you such strength in your life...we all need something. He has always been a silent background figure for me....and I felt that that was the sign for me to deal with my problems myself, which I duly did, for there was noone else in them thar days, but again...I like the defiance in your words.
Stange how Linereaders challenge has opened the door to more of the sadnesses in our times, except, lol, my nonsense piece about 'the light'
