This is the section of Strive4Impact.com, where you can read, every day, something I wrote since I was 13 years old (1993).  Some of it's adolescent angst, but some of it is quite good, and I hope you'll agree.  What are we up to now? Currently, my wife and I are traveling the world and blogging our experience.  We may have been somewhere you would like to go, or maybe we could come to meet you?  Either way, you may find our reviews and advice helpful.  Check it out at http://www.CarrieAndJonathan.com

Fall 1993

I had a rose
which withered and died
but I kept it around
Simply inside

It was a love
that had ended
without a pain
that would have to be mended.
Then the love returned
but only for her
"What should I do?"
I was very unsure.
I looked inside
and inside said no
So I told her
it was time to let go.
But when I was inside
I saw another thing too
a rose left in me
but for who
She was now gone
so the rose was removed
but it was not dead,
and it was re-used.
It was planted in the ground
as part of a friendship.
It was no longer in a vase
no longer allowed to tip.
In that rose
is something from me to her
it shows what we are now
not what we were.
