Once I Knew A Girl

Once I knew a girl, proudly different; born into near
blindness with the spirit of a life long fighter and
full woman. Coupled with a keen brain power,
her determination generated completion of higher
education, plus skills to master and guide her life.

Along the way she has known success in a beautiful
marriage, three children, and quality homemaking.
Equally rewarding is a talent for writing which is
now professional and entering a career zenith.

The need to succeed keeps challenging this woman;
the bright one I write about in, Once I Knew A Girl.


2007 F William Broome

Thank you so much, my kind and dear friend, but I believe you give me way too much praise. My determination comes from being too darned stubborn to let anything get to me...lol You are a dear man and a wonderful friend!
love always,
M

As soon as I saw the title, I knew this would be a tribute to Myrna, in my estimation, a mighty fine gal. Well said, Bill.

Cheers,
Dan
