CALHOUN STUDENT'S POETRY PUBLISHED

(06/28/2020)

Congratulations to Calhoun High Class of 2020 graduate, Angela Valentine, on becoming a published poet. Angela’s poem, You Made It, was selected to be published in the 2020 Rising Stars Collection by Appelley Publishers. You Made It by Angela Valentine Life has been a long road that I have not walked too well Plenty of hills that I have climbed, and oceans I have swam With the hopes I can find the mountain to the promise land Just to be knocked back down and drowned in the salty water All of that work for nothing Blood, sweat, and tears That's what you need to put in to get to where you want to go, right? Those things did not matter the day that I lost you Every road I have walked, step by step, crumbled beneath my feet Blood, sweat, and tears is what I was putting in to keep you here with me I felt heartache like no other Feeling every beat of my heart slow down and speed up with yours My heart still hasn't healed Now that you are no longer here to help me glue the pieces back together I prayed and I begged for you to stay with me God took you anyways, Ile had His own plans for you He said you have walked your journey long enough I guess you climbed your mountain clear to the top
