She was, always, in the wrong.
The wrong path. The wrong friends.
The wrong choices. The wrong dress.
The wrong dreams. The wrong job.
Wrong husband.
Wrong … no … not the wrong children.
Just the sometimes-very-difficult ones.
No wonder,
When her every action was judged
Widdershins.
So she chose to listen
To no one,
But the small call
Of her soul,
And the small arms that wrapped
Around her legs
When she reached
Down.

Oh, well done, you! She may have made some wrong choices but nothing stops her from turning things around 🙂

Absolutely!! And … perhaps some of her ‘wrong choices’ were judged more harshly than they ought to have … and she’s finding her footing to do what SHE knows is right, as she can. One thing at a time. xoxo

That is a given. People are so quick to judge. And I say kudos to her! Taking charge of her own happiness 🙂 xoxo

Amen! Yep. Good for her! And if she manages to do that when she still has little arms reaching around her legs, she’s ahead of the game already! 😉

Thank you, Sadje! 🙂 Listening to others is a good thing, but taking in too much critic isn’t good for anyone.

And who’s to say she made the wrong choices anyway? Sometimes, they’re right in disguise 🙂

And then there are those who believe I ought to apologize for being wrong. This is all so well done, the pic and poem. Loved it.

Thank you, Bill. Apologies for being in the wrong have their place, but that does not mean that one must always appease everyone, or ignore what they know can also be right. More than one way to be, especially if one remains on a path of empathy, compassion, kindness, truth, fairness, and a true internal moral compass. All the rest if sort of optional IMO.
