About the Author

To Dr. Begel, Alicia, Ron, Celeste, and Jackie thank you for

your inspiration, your support and your well wishes.

I dedicate this book to you.

Prelude

A play on words

In my poems, you’ll find that my words don’t always match.

It’s because your thoughts I’m trying to catch.

Although the stories will often time make sense.

But sometimes they may even, have you in suspense.

My words it’s true sometimes they don’t rhyme.

But just like this one, the words still are all mine.

Sometimes it’s true, they are just to amuse you.

And sometimes it’s cause, I didn’t have a clue.

But my stories will still be a good read.

But remember my words, are always a seed.

Better place

My poetry shows my mind is in a better place.

Cause I gave people their sense of space.

I’m no longer holding on to what could have been.

Which now has helped my heart to mend.

I feel so much better, and my world has become bright.

And I now have the goal of happiness insight.

Now that I finally have let things go.

I hope my happiness can truly show.

Clear

I’ll write in the morning when my mind is clear.

And my words will be sincere.

I’ll write to you words that are kind.

Also, whatever words that comes to mind.

I’ll try to write words that are nice.

I may even write words, that give advice.

I’ll write to you in the morning, while the sun shines bright.

And hope that my words to you, are always a delight.

Glory

When you read my book, you’ll learn so much about me.

Of who I am and how I am and who I have come to be.

Some of it may often time, be kind of hard to read.

And you’ll find out why I needed God to intercede.

You will see my life has been, often time real strange.

It is filled with things, I somehow needed to change.

So as you read along, the poems of my life’s story.

You can see what I’ve overcome and why I give God the glory.

Hit me up

If you find a wrong word, I used in my book.

You’ll never know just how long this book took.

So if you ever find, a wrong word or a sentence or two.

I want you to know this is because this is all new.

You see I am an amateur at all this writing stuff.

So there may be a word or two that I’ll miss sho’nuff.

So if you ever find that I put the wrong word there.

Hit me up and tell me cause I honestly do care.

Lovely words

Lovely words are not always my thing.

I can’t always write words that shine like bling.

Sometimes my words aren’t always nice.

There not always words that are sugar and spice.

My words are sometimes just thoughts in my head.

But sometimes my words are just meant to be said.

Cause sometimes my words aren’t nice nor kind.

But they were just words that came to my mind.

So sometimes, I write words that doesn’t make any sense.

And sometimes my words can be a little intense.

So when you read my words and they have nothing to say.

I still hope that my words managed to brighten up your day.

Lyrics

I write a lot of poetry, about so many simple things.

But most of the times its, music to me that my heart sings.

But writing is the music that plays around inside my head.

So often time the lyrics are meant to be read.

There may be many times when the lyrics are often sad and blue.

Because at that time, those lyrics are, about what I’m going through.

Sometimes I write about silly things and most of which are true.

But many times when you read along, you’ll hear your heart sing too.

Sometimes you’ll even read a word and anticipate my next line.

Cause sometimes my lyrics often will bring you a ray of sunshine.

I hope as you read a phrase, a simple line or two.

Some of my words will somehow encourage you.

My poetry

As you read my poetry, you will find that most of them are about me.

You’ll find Life and Relationship are, about the pain that wouldn’t set me free.

To me, you may find that It maybe often and sometimes very hard to read.

So my poetry comes with a huge warning, so I’m asking you to take heed.

As you read along, you will find that some of my poetry may even fit your story.

But if it does, I hope that you will fight and in life have the glory.

See my life which, was
