Finding Our Voices Appreciates Poetry Submission

Untitled

Take my hand,

Don’t be afraid.

There are lessons to be learned,

Mistakes to be made.

We know that life is

A constant battle.

But when you fall off a horse,

You can’t just throw out the saddle.

You must hop back up and keep on riding;

Not much fun to stay in hiding

When it seems you are sliding in a pile of quicksand,

Don’t be afraid,

Just take my hand.
