Hustle and Flow

Author Dana Redricks

In the hustle and bustle of life's grand show, since my tiny feet found the floor below, at just five years old, Mama's wisdom in tow, she taught me survival, the way I must go.

With God-given talents, I learned to refine, to stand on my own, in life's grand design, to hustle and flow, through every decline, and do what I must, to let my light shine.

So I take each gift, each talent, each muse, and use them to triumph, never to lose, in the rhythm of life, where I must choose, to hustle and flow, and never refuse.

Dear Dana, your poem speaks volumes about resilience and the power of determination. I loved your journey from a young age, guided by your mother's wisdom, filled with the universal struggle to find our place and purpose in life's chaotic dance. I also liked your commitment to honing your talents and embracing life's challenges with grace is truly inspiring. Keep hustling and flowing, letting your light shine brightly as a testament to your strength and perseverance. - Blessings, Daniel
