Remember the magic:
When you look closely,
What was hidden
Is found.
Something small
Can give you wings.
What was sad
Can give you strength.
What stole your voice
Can make you sing.
Remember the magic.

This poem is dedicated to Ms. Vee, who is a fellow phoenix, a bird reborn from flames.

I love this one Brenda, so energising!!! And the last five lines really give a lost soul a lot of hope.
‘What was sad

If you click on the link at the top of the comment in the notifications, that’s highlighted and reads: Something Blue, that will take you to the post. From there, it should have reblogging as an option on the WP menu bar at the top. That’s how I usually do it. I know you can reblog from the reader too, but I’ve never done that. I always visit the post. If that doesn’t work, then I really don’t know…

I enjoyed Belissa, her adventures are not scary, she is at home in her woods. I also enjoyed this one, with the special messages, Brenda. I am sure my favorite berry, with its sweet yet slightly tart flavor, reminds me of life, it is not all sweet nor too tart, it can be how we make it: Just right! Smiles, Robin
