Re: DISCUSSION: Persona
Hey, Dave!

Here are my sobered thoughts about the future.
They continue from my last post in the CafΓ©.

It is my prayer, that at some point
this poem will be read by my daughter
to cause her to think soberly about her life, too.

I'm convinced, that I have many things in my favor,
like a heart connection, that was started with her,
while she was still in the wound,
and the fact, that she is cautious by nature
about new things in life.

The Bottom Line is that I have got to let go,
and I'm trying to do that gradually over the next three years,
rather than "having the rug snatched out from under me"
when she graduates from high school.

I can't say it will be any easier
when the day arrives,
but I like to think the practice of thinking it through
will have some benefit on that day and beyond.

"The World: "Awaiting Your Arrival"

Here is yet another signature, that has been provided for me by my good friends, WS & GG.
