I've been slandered and criticized
Humiliated and ostracized
But you'll always see a smile on my face, yeah
You can't shake me”

This next piece will touch home with you, as it has me. TIMM REED of ANOTHER FINE MESS has composed a piece devoted to
the strength we see in our fathers, sometimes not until they have passed away do we realize the sheer strength it takes to be
a parent in this day and age.
MAN OF STEEL
By Timm Reed
“With weathered skin on his face and his hands of stone
Every day he worked the earth, fingers to the bone
Back breaking selfless sacrifice is what he’s shown
And never once did he ever let us walk alone”

NEXT
By Shawn Joseph
Once again
Floating down
Feet have fallen
Lost the crown
Knocking loud
Just let me in
Lost before
I could begin
Locked outside
The open door
I found my mind
Beneath the floor
Sun now calling
Reaching through
Frozen torment
Escapes my view
Alas we have come to that time again. Rest not for too long my friends, as the warmth might steal your focus. Let inspiration
flow free and send it to me: [email protected]. Don’t let another moment pass! Let’s share your voice with the
