Al Morse :

The beautiful thing about poetry is just like an image—the many percieved meanings are simply relative. We see from who we are and what we have and what we want. The internal dialogues are externally expressed in many beautiful meanings as we all have experienced.

This is the very piece that made me realize that life was worth my existence and I deserved to be who I was made to be. May her memory be eternal.
