Dagmar, great to see you back posting and I have to say, this line is spot on.

Take care and all the best as ever,

Ben

Dagmar, how wonderful to see a poem from you! I have missed your writings. I liked this a lot. It's a personal write, you don't mince words and that has always been a trademark of yours. I know there is always things that have happened in our lives that we continue to beat ourselves up over, past regrets will either bury us or strengthen us. You are a survivor Dagmar, no matter what has been thrown at you. Well done-hugs!

This is such an honest and raw write, and really puts life and all its challenges and changes into perspective.

"I have a choice.
Will I let this defeat me or for once
enjoy what is most precious and that is life."

These last few lines are extremely powerful!

Well done!

Thank you all so kindly for your comments
