Inspired by Reena’s Xploration Challenge #328 &
Moonwashed Weekly Prompt – Jaded Glory
i approached like a child
filled with passion
but without direction
her power encouraged me
her ire influenced me
her determination guided me
becoming greatness
an exquisite struggle
but exhausting
feelings of jaded glory
on this path of self-actualization
led me to who i am today

This made me think about the fact that I am always hoping that my daughter sees my strengths and feels that she can have the strength to do anything she wants.

Beautifully written, Susi. Empowerment from a parent or another is what many need to succeed in life.

Absolutely right! My wish is that only those people who truly understand their responsibilities as parents become them. I think we’d see a better world that way. Thank you for your praise, Eugenia!
