A Mile Away

It is a letter of inspiration I've long written
to my growing self
not to remain stuck in these muds
but struggle to there where I call home
only a mile away

Hi

Barbara, quite awhile. Thanks for stopping by. I draw so much inspiration from the statement "A Mile Away" It offers an opportunity to hold on and struggle for greater higts in any endeavour I puts my hands to and I have survived, Life is growing process and we cannot allow temporary dificulties to defeat us. Nice hearing from you again. Best wishes. Wonder.

Was under the impression that you had just returned on the Dec 6th piece, but will look at these other pieces. This one is very good as it covers a life time in a few words, a struggle that you know will soon be over, See with your inner self and the way will be clear, bake the mud in your mind, and the walk home will be good, Yours Ian.T

Nice

interpretation sir, there are certain things we do in life that we keep doing yet the result we expect are always unfavourable but we cannot just quit. A MILE AWAY is surely an inspiration, to just picture your SUCCESS clearly. So dream big, believe and have hope in God and in yourself because you're a HERO. Thanks for stopping by to read, Sir Ian.T. Best wishes, Wonder.

a mile away

I came back to this and it is like reading it again for the first. I agree with your logic of certain things we do in life that we keep doing yet the result we expect are always unfavorable but we cannot just quit. I wonder why that is true? Respectfully Yours, Barbara
