Someone I have never met
humbled me today
posted comment on my blog
with what they had to say
Tears they trickled as I read
with joy and pleasure there
And the tugging of my heartstrings
was way beyond compare
Poems, poets, poetry, writing, poetry challenges
They say it’s wise
to pick your battles,
to avoid the conflict
and preserve the peace.
But what of honesty, what of pride
can be preserved in the face of opposition?
There is something to be said in pride –
there is a pride in being honest with the world,
with one’s self.
One cannot sleep in a bed with
dishonesty between the sheets.
