The words"take nothing for granted" is a valuable lesson for us all to remember. As we get busy with our lives, it is easy to lose sight of the important things in life. It is sometimes hard waiting to see what the future will bring, but as you write, you mention that you are "secure in the shadows." To me, this means that you are prepared to wait for the future, as you are secure with yourself. Stop into my den when you have a chance
I enjoy your work.
Teresa
especially the fifth verse
as long as you are secure one step closer
I really like the meter and the rhyme scheme in this poem. Wonderfully-written that offera a smooth flow when read.
