What a beautiful poem! I love it. My personal poem that I always go back to is Invictus by William Ernest Henley

Be still my heart - again. You introduced me to this stunning poem last year, and I'm grateful to you for sharing it again. I know I won't be the only person moved by your testimony of the power of poetry to help us make a home in our place.
