Downpour
This is my challenge entry for The Emotional Moment in Nature Challenge By Cendrine Marrouat. My source is the poem 'Fallen Angel' written by Mike Singleton. I have chosen this poem as inspiration because of its message of selfless support, how one might not realise the needs of others, especially if their needs are not obvious. With an invisible illness myself, I found this poem poignant and beautifully written. https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/fallen-angel-h333uu0tru%3C/p%3E%3C/a%3E%3Cdiv class="css-1htaxga-Flex">
