Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
Sometimes we have to keep our perspective positive.

You Against the World

by Karen Dougherty Estep



When the world
Seems critical and cold
A smile can warm a hard and cruel heart

When the world
Seems to hand you lemons
Remember tart things can be made sweet

When the world
Has more harsh words to say
Remember you do not speak that way.



3-6-9 Poem contest entry


In a world of negative be determined to see the positive
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
