Poem: Christmas Layers

The stress of this season can quickly creep in to December, hoping for a perfect day.

Motivational Poem: Crawling

I’m crawling, climbing, fingers dig into the dirt. I’m falling, slipping, My feet backslide a little. ~ Teeth grind together. Stinging, raw fingers find grip again.
