Author: Susi Bocks

Life is the privilege of new discoveries each day about who I am. I've constantly evolved into more roles as my life continues towards its inevitable end. Many admirable hats have been worn throughout my existence, and some have come to an end. I've been a daughter, a sister, a friend, a wife, a mother, an aunt, a sister-in-law, a daughter-in-law, a paid worker in the capitalistic system in our world, a business person, and a volunteer for many worthy causes over the years. The current role of writer and author is hopefully not the last step my journey that began as a blank slate. I'm currently residing in the middle of the United States, literally.

The New Breed

women seen and heard

a force to be reckoned with

rising to the top

Reclaiming Power

mankind had enough

a revolution begins

changes are coming

So sad but yet so simply and beautifully said. The accompanying image is perfect too! It and the poem make me think of the phrase “being put out to sea”. Thanks for sharing, Deborah! ❤
