Growing Pains

Let s face it life is often tough. Sometimes it s wonderful. But it s always absolutely extraordinary. Growing Pains explores some of the challenges young people face as they navigate the often-slippery journey of growing up the funny the serious and the deeply heart-wrenching. Young people are many things: nervous scared and excited but also brave insightful and strong. I hope these poems in some way paint a picture of these incredible young souls.
