As we continue to showcase our tenants’ talents, we invite those who would like to be featured to submit a piece for consideration! We welcome writing submissions from any and all of our tenants and will periodically select a piece to publish here on the blog. If you have any questions or would like to submit a piece to be published on the blog, please reach out to us at: info@shamcomanagement.com.

As was our first piece for the Tenant Poets Corner,  this second installment has been generously provided by Ms. Georgia Thornton.

Steadfast in Thee

Dogged ambition nips fierce at my heels —

vexing my somewhat lackadaisical soul;

into complete submission.

I cannot rest with what I feel — work I must

until in passionate words I yield —

the innermost me.

If you shall read this particular aspiration;

in print, and bound, and bearing my name —

then smile and know that I now walk straight,

I can look into a stranger’s face and feel not

a bit a shame,

for I have pursued many avenues, from heaven

to here on mortal earth;

transgressors have tried to devour me,

yet despite deceitful mirth;

my soul is ever steadfast in thee.
