NPM #4: Despite and In spite

Celebrating National Poetry Month...with more spoken word...

Despite...

Despite a delayed beginning,
Fulfilling an academic need,
Traveling, relationships imprinting,
Stopping, starting, moving.

Despite a delayed beginning,
Deflating tire at rapid speed,
Calling, tow truck arriving,
Repairing, tipping, inflating.

In spite of delayed beginnings,
Challenges faced and defeated,
Focusing, speakers motivating,
Inspiring, challenging, leading.

Session 1.  Women of Joy.
Blessed. Blessed. Blessed.
