Rejoice and Be Glad

Best Advice I've Ever Had

I'm hoping

to return

to a time

and a place

where somehow

and some way

I can find

enough grace

to rejoice

and be glad

in each day

that I face

Good luck with that; I feel that way myself. I have know idea who Rita Jean is, but I know the sorrowful nostalgia of holding in the corner of one’s heart a woman gone. You wrote a lovely poem.
