New reply from Susan Katz
<p>Thank you for submitting your poem to be considered for Featured Poem of the Week. It reminds me a bit of a "marching song" one that inspires and provides hope and unity. I particularly liked the line – "clouds of uncertainty…" it seems a very fitting image for the times we are struggling through. Have a very happy and creative day, Susan</p>
