    Wow. I am overwhelmed with emotion. This is beautiful. It spoke to my heart. It is almost like you spoke to me personally although this piece is much bigger than any being . I am truly in a loss for words so, I will keep it short. Dr. Bryant you need to keep writing , not only to young women but for young men you have power in your voice and it hits hard. I will admit I have not taken my night back but, this poem makes me want to .
