A heartfelt collection of poetry exploring life's journey. Testing Times is the second book in the series, A Reflection on Life, which captures vivid memories, the joy of sport, the power of music, and the beauty in everyday moments. With warmth and authenticity, these poems reflect on the past, celebrate passions, and find meaning in the little things that inspire us all. My own inspiration came from researching my father's adventures, before, during and after WW2. My father was a larger than life character whose choices were sometimes not the best, but he lived every moment and this is what gave me the confidence to challenge myself and do something different. You can read his life story in A One Way Ticket, a four part docu-drama series, by Carole McEntee-Taylor.
