A Product Of The Great Depression
Joe Strickland 1986 (Hobbysville, SC)
As I saw her fade
Off into the great wide open,
I couldn't help but feel
A sense of profound awe
And reverence.
Because in her,
I beheld the very essence
Of what makes us human,
In all our tumult and strife,
Our unyielding perseverance,
Our unwavering spirit,
And our soaring ascent
Above the pits of despair
That threaten to swallow us whole.
Despite the odds stacked against her,
She marched ahead,
A beacon of hope
Amid the rolling tides of doubt.
