I dedicate this to you...

Here's a poem by one of my favourite poets, Christina Rossetti, for you to pause and reflect on. Enjoy!

I Planted a Hand

I planted a hand
And there came up a palm,
I planted a heart
And there came up balm.

Then I planted a wish,
But there sprang a thorn,
While heaven frowned with thunder

And earth sighed forlorn.


Anyone wish to critique?

One of your favourite poets???

Do you know her "Who has seen the wind?"

I'm not (never) good at analysing a poem. I like the sound of the poem except the last two lines.

Semua yang berlaku ada hikmahnya , InsyaAllah.

Tushee loveujordan, there's certain things that we can strive for. After some time, it's Him for decides the path.

P.S - It's nearing the exam week here. Take care!
