Our Time Will Come!!!
A Poem
It may not always be as pretty as a picture…
or always en vogue…
but I have always been a fan of keeping it real…
For Authenticity rules in my abode…
~
Therefore… I must admit
that My Heart recently said:
"8 months on the block and not a single nod"
but then My Mind reminded me that it isn't about me…
"it's about uplifting others and honoring the Creator our God"…
~
Forgive me Father for those selfish vibes…
I'm still here…
Therefore…
I have another chance to get it right…
~
For others feeling like me… our time will come…
So shine up your good shoes…
and get ready for your time in the sun!

Scary holiday house shenanigans
The year was 2016, I believe, and it was September. My family - my parents, our family dog, and I - went to France for a vacation. My mother had booked a holiday home near the French city of Obernai that looked nice in the photos. When we arrived, the landlady greeted us, though communication was difficult since she spoke little English or French while my parents and I, just 12 years old at the time, knew even less. I remember how she seemed nervous explaining that we must activate the alarm system each night and lock the doors to the lounge/winter garden with a large metal shutter that reminded me of blast doors.

Congratulations, Tiffany! Your poem speaks volumes. We all need validation sometimes to let us know others appreciate our work. When you keep it real and authentic, as you do, the rewards will come. Keep your shoes shined and keep writing.
Thank you for the positivity and inspiration. It can be disheartening being a writer. So much love and care goes into our work to end up with little to no appreciation sometimes. Congrats again on your recent Top Story :)
Remember reading this just before I got my first Top Story. Very encouraging and inspiring poem. ❤️
Very inspiring. Good job
