Notes About The Poem

Date written: 01/11/2025

Resilience

walking
   with a purpose;
     somewhere along 
   the rugged terrain of life
you stub your toe...

t i m b e r!

a hard face plant
   the devil 
     on your shoulder
   mocks you
forks his tongue into your ear...

"Bite the dust!"

yet you rise
   to your nimble feet
     without so much as a backward glance
   you keep on
walking with faith...

10 feet tall.
