All That We Are Past & Now - 2026??

by Tom Zart   Jul 23, 2026


There is no better teacher in life
Like the trials which come our way.
Adversity strengthens our minds
As we pray what to do and say.

Some of us are as God planned
Though too many are far worse.
Our characters are not of marble
So the Devil may work his curse.

Greed is what we steal or take
Character is what we give.
To this truth we must awake
So we might begin to live.

Every generation has its champions
Who come along to save the day.
Every generation has its Satan’s
Who lead the lost astray.

    Hi! I really enjoyed reading your poetry. Your words create such strong emotions, but I felt they could become even more powerful with visuals.

    I’m a freelance artist with 3 years of experience, and I can turn the feelings and imagery in your poems into illustrations so readers can actually see the words come to life. We could even start with one poem or a few stanzas as a small project.

    I’d also love to share a few ideas on how visuals could help you reach a wider audience and create another way to benefit from your poetry.
