About the author
I am Terrence Beard, a black urban poet, who discovered a hidden talent of writing poetry in the year 2004 as I watched my dad, Rufus Beard Jr., fight and lose a short battle with lung cancer at the young age of 62.
Poetry became my outlet at the age of 36 as I dealt with all my trials and tribulations on this roller coaster called life.
Now I feel my purpose is to keep writing poetry until I touch as many souls as possible.
