“Sonnet 155”

Although there are many a wall I hit

By research, writing, editing and more,

‘Tis for you, dear reader, I do attempt

This noble art that, to my very core,

.

I do only to keep you really true.

This trade of words to truth and fact behold

Although hardship does always pass on through

To a better world we seek to unfold.

.

And more with this trade of truthful writer

Do principally hold the same as I,

That the spread of knowledge is the lighter

Of a flame much too strong to go awry.

.

And if the strife is too much to bear through,

All of the heartache was worth it for you.
