Fun story - I wrote this poem 2.5 years ago when I was on my 100 days 100 poems journey. It still feels relevant today!

Already shared it, here it is again!

------

A person with a happy heart,

whose thoughts are pure and true.

Whose vision's clear and brain is smart.

Yes, that person is YOU!

I'm grateful that you shared your feelings with us Kristine. Curious to know what makes you feel so.

Here's a mini poem for you:

----

It's darker than it used to be,

my vision is still clear.

Let the future come to me,

I'm standing bravely, right here!

Someone who loves deeply and fearlessly, who’s home and table is always open, who uses my talents to care for those around mean

I see what you post every week, Sara. And because of that, I believe you fully when you say this is who you want to be.

Here's a mini poem for you:

------

Hope and care and joy and love,

are feelings I want around me.

Someone who gives them out to the world,

that's the person that I want to be.

I see myself become someone,

who serves this mighty world.

and my flag will be unfurled.

Punit, great thoughts, great writing.

Loved this, and I'm sure you can be whoever you want to be.

As for me...

I see myself standing behind the curtain,

while on the stages of their choice,

my kids shine like the bright stars they are.
