First Post

O.k. so I am not doing the Petal Passion flower thing right now and I'm not sure that I will ever go back to it so I am creating this new blog to take it's place.
I'm going to share a favorite poem for my first post. It is titled Invictus by William Ernest Henley written
in 1875...... I hope you enjoy it ~

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.


In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.


Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.


It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishment the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
