Poem -

Left but not because of rotten

  Left but not because of rotten

Left but not because of rotten

Where the apple fell,

the fragile fruit tree, still proudly stands.

As a kid I did fall,

but you, placed out both hands.

From a brazon boy I grew,

To an outspoken young man.

Strength exist in numbers,

So all together, we vowed to band.

In the face, of all adversities,

Retreat not, never to have ran.

Live life, to the fullest, was our motto,

And the forbidden, law of the land.

Never known to have faltered,

Into the fire, from the frying pan.

When meditations in order,

no need for a border,

nor fire, shall I fan

you taught me, never to say can’t,

but instead, always say I can,

As yours, my tree shall flourish,

When allowed to grow, from this sand.

Forever nourished to see, the full forest,

not just the tree, is my plan.

The apple that fell, from this tree of life

like you, will triumph once again.

Greetings Susan,

You are a gifted, proud lady who have experienced things in life, that most people, only dare talk about but you, have ventured there and dared to be submissive to the torment, that the venture had attached to it.I can only say, that it is you, that have a whole world of poetry, art and stories, bottled up inside you, just itching and waiting, to be explored by us all and i am glad and proud to know, that now we will have the opportunity to see you and all you have to offer, (shine). What you have bounced back from, is amazing,courageous and full of survival ambitions and lessons,(from you) to be taught to us all, about knowing who we are and what we need to do, in order to never lose sight of what motivates us most in life, in order to stay on, (our own) right track, if life ever throws in our path, (not just one but many) stumbling blocks, to test our beliefs and values...You lady, are the epitome of a hero not only to those that you love are love you but through all of your readers as well...Especially to me.... 

Take Care,

Susan
