My dear followers,

As some of you may know Literary Revelations will publish Cindy Georgakas’ book Celebrating Poetry: A Companion Guide to Re-create and and Celebrate.

Cindy is such a beloved member of our community and her poetry is beautiful.

I will release the foreword to the book soon. Until then a reading done by me from Cindy’s poetry. I hope you enjoy it.

Marching on a Mission by Cindy Georgakas

Eyes on the prize,
there will be detours, I’m not going to lie. Keep your focus, just for today,
do what you say you will.
Strengthen that muscle,
for there is an end in sight.
Remember to celebrate when you arrive, because, as soon as you do,
there are going to be others. Don’t let the falls take you under,
pick yourself up from off the ground. You made it!
You’ve arrived!
Don’t forget to say,
“thank you; I survived!”

Thank you for listening and reading!
