Like a knockout blow 
In the final round

The challenges comes 
All at once 
How you cope will depend on how you see them

Even if you have to tick 
Them off...

Some of us may face unwanted setbacks
Before the proverbial "fat lady sings."

Things we never could've imagined
Unforeseen illness, a sudden accident

Miracle Trump
November, 8th is a witness of a mystery
A common man emerged from nowhere
Into the boxing ring he dashed

Finding a Way
"It’s so exhausting these challenges,
Even for someone like you so talented 

You can dodge them as you make your way, 
Or hide them from display

But they will bleed you dry,
If you let them try

Best to look at each one on in a separate light,

Close To Home
Written By:  D. Collins 3/15/24


It hits close to home when it comes to truth.
About the stuff that went down in World War II.
While Russia was delivering the knockout blow.
We were Shanghaiing scientist on the low.


That pissed the Russians off like never before.
Thus, the beginning...
