Poet Bio

The storm clouds gather on the horizon,
A warning of the troubles yet to come.
A time of hardship, a time of pain,
A test of will, a test of strength to sustain.

With heads held high, we’ll face the fray,
Though fear and doubt may come our way.
For in the end, we’ll rise above,
The pending difficult times we must face ahead.
