Some people have such an elegant way
Of bridging the gap and therefore allay
Concerns or fears or shy retreat
Through loving words and care so sweet
Encouraging, enlisting strength to meet
The daily rigors of life continually upbeat
Never defeated by life’s demands
Full force they greet the day and understand
There is life and joy and fulfillment to be had
If only we reach out a helping hand
To those too innocent to stand alone
Ushered through life too easily blown
Speared by judgment and power abused
The strong will bridge the gap unexcused
To help the young blossom and grow
And reach yet another large plateau
Of confidence, footing assured
Passing the baton reassured
The knowledge assistance had
Shall leave the tender shoots clad
In a more sure-footed attitude
To reach man or womanhood

Awe, thank you. I’m really thrilled. I hoped the characters weren’t wooden, and felt real. One woman who bought the book said she fell in love with Selina. She wanted me to write another including her. Don’t kill her off

The styles of the time. Since it was I believe written to reflect 20 years ago.
I’ll have to write another with up to date attire, but I wear classy and elegant and I usually dress my peeps in that attire unless they are teens or 20 ish
My clothes are still in style, roflmao cause I pick middle of the road, not trendy stuff that wears out in six month and is dated
