Each week author Ronovan Hester invites interested readers to participate in a Haiku Prompt Challenge. This week he provided the words body and close. I'm a novice at this poetic form, but I'm intrigued enough to attempt this simple verse. ​If you have interest, please click on the link above, where you'll find detailed instructions. 

​I've entitled my poem, ​In His Arms.

The photo you chose to go with the words speaks a thousand words. Her eyes speak the words you wrote. Just beautiful!

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way. ―Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning
