Penned by Clare, with gentle hands,

A journey through life's pain she understands,

In verses raw, her empathy expands,

To mend the wounds that life's harshness demands.

This book is dedicated to you,

The brave souls, both old and new,

Who have weathered storms and skies of blue,

And found the strength to start anew

To the hearts that have been torn,

Yet rise each day, reborn,

To the spirits that have sworn,

To heal, though they are worn.

For every tear that's been shed,

For the dreams that have been led,

To the places of dread,

Yet chose hope's path instead.

To you, who in these pages find,

A salve for the heart and mind,

May these words be ever kind,

And to your journey, aligned.

With love and empathy,

Clare Brian.
