(First this movie...All About Overcomers)

Only in America
Poverty can be
Remov'd because of
Aspiring to do
Heroic things
Simply because they believe

Hearing the opposite of
Everyone who is
Against their dream, they
Rise up beyond the norm and
Taking control, they give it up
Showing other women a more excellent way

Anyone who can rise up against the grip of poverty is a hero in my eyes. I'm not there yet, but will be, some day, with the Grace of God. :) Beautifully inspiring, Cynth'ya, well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Oprah may have a good heart, but she and other celebrities need to be helping the poor people HERE. (And just not the CHILDREN; how 'bout us poor adults????) Just my opinion; still, all in all, a good acrostic write; very well done, Cynth'ya!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(
