When you deeply think

that you should stop,

that's when you enforce

staying on track.

Even when those

who assured support

jump off the ship,

and you're hit with their slack.

*

When your spirit feels

the pressure inside,

that's when you'll care

to fix any cracks.

Even when life

brings you some delays

in reaching your goals,

deterring your hacks.

*

I know how sometimes,

when panic arrives,

you'll reach out to me,

looking for a chat.

Don't you ever doubt:

call me any time.

I'm here for you.

And I got your back.

Started writing short stories back in 1988 at work, when I had an empty page to fill for the employee's internal magazine. Taking the pen again after a 30 year-long hiatus, exploring where it takes me this time.

    I just call...to say...'' I love you.'' And I mean it, from the bottom of my heart... :))

    This one feels like a warm hand on the shoulder! It's that kind of quiet strength you want in your corner when the world feels shaky. Loved it! ✨
