A Spark of Hope

Hello, everyone! I bring to you some merriment with this new blog post (I'm in nerd mode). For starters, how is everyone today? Anyone enjoyed Thanksgiving? If you have some cool stories to share, comment below!

I never thought I had a great Thanksgiving week, because it's always quiet and not so big. But you know, having a quiet Thanksgiving meal with your family is not so bad. At least there was no drama (and there will never be, now that I'm no longer with my relatives. Haha)! But I understand that nobody celebrates Thanksgiving because of different reasons, which I cannot list them all.

I do hope that you have shop for the bargains you love. And as you may know, I had a free ebook sale in between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. And if people have missed a chance to get a free copy of one of my books, no need to worry. I'm planning to do another on next month so that you guys can have a chance to get a copy for free.

One last thing before I go: I do have wonderful news. There was a contest that was held in Whizolosophy, if anyone knows about it. If not, I will tell you. Whizolosophy is a website, where people can post from essays to poems and help both improve and educate ourselves.

So what happened was that I entered a contest, hoping that it'll help me boost my confidence. Of course, I found out that I did not win it. However, the website contacted me and said that my poem called Mending Love was selected for this week by Editor's Choice. It's not big, but I was glad that I'm being recognized for the first time.

I know that many writers like myself have been struggling to submit theirs works and get rejected, but one day, their time will come if they working hard and get themselves out there. That is the point of publishing, whether it's by submitting through magazine to blogs, it will work.

So guys, feel free to check out my poem through the website, or I can post my poem here for you all to read. In the meantime, take care and have a wonderful week. https://whizolosophy.com/category/lov...

Mending Love

You can be hot headed at times
But I know that something is pushing your buttons
The stove that is under you
It’s making you all mad

You start to lose control of yourself
You don’t think twice
For someone who is trying to help you
You’ve burned me
But that’s because of your steam

You have been used and abused so much
You have a crack on the rim of your spout
But I try to help you cool down
And fix that broken spout of yours

I heal that crack
And suddenly
You’re no longer blowing of steam
You don’t make that raging sound no more

I can accept your mistakes
I can accept your behavior
Even though you’re blowing some heat
I know for sure
I would always be able to heal you
