Alone: Kids got this

March 3, 2023.Reading time less than 1 minute.

Present Distance

I’ve lived the fog of distance –life’s highway a series of hillsdestination without promise Have learned that acceptance gains perspective,that climates change, and hope sustains,and that in the stillness dreams renew.
