I think my favorite part is, "What no one told me was that when I looked in the mirror and saw all these People looking back at me, that I would do so in peace,"<br /><br />I NEVER could have believed I would feel peace - especially since I had never known it before.jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609613967033394629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3257108207435918424.post-57685131971828582602011-01-30T10:23:21.920-07:002011-01-30T10:23:21.920-07:00Wow! that poem is really pulling on one's soul...Wow! that poem is really pulling on one's soul.
