    RISE With every struggle, I grow With each mountain, I climb I am strengthened In the valley I find peace With my head in the clouds I soar When I stumble I reach When I crumble I rise I rise I rise Simona A. Brinson Photo by Hans Isaacson on Unsplash © Simona A. Brinson…

    HORIZONS When I saw you I loved you When I kissed you I knew That roses Weren’t just red And violets only blue I saw horizons ahead That I never imaged Could be And I never thought a kiss Could bring me to my knees Fate, How kind you have been That you would bring…
