poetry outlet
My poetry it seems to be an
outlet for me.
The more I write the better
I feel.
The words I express, they
come straight from my heart.
Which make me feel stronger
From finish to start
The stronger my heart
helps me better to think.
So I must pay attention and
try not to blink
Although I need not to
concentrate and think while I write
It comes straight from
my heart.
The more that I write, the
better I feel
The better I feel, the
more that I write
Helps me be clean and put
up the fight
because it allows my soul
to cleanse and be clean
Oh, what a joy that my
writing
can bring.
my heart back to safety
and will forever set free

Poetry group
Today was my first day to
attend a poetic group
I'm hoping my writing
hasn't fell out of the loop
I have no idea what is
expected from me
But as I read so far from
them I will never seem to beat
I know I'm not there to
compete
But all I can do is to
write what I feel
As of now I can easily
write what I feel
While every day seems to be
no big deal
I've got not much to share
While my mind seems to race
everywhere
It never slows down
It never lets me to breathe
My writing poetry seems all
that I need
It helps me to express
And get things off my mind
I can't seem to catch up
I have nothing to hide
There is nothing too
personal
That I fear to let go
My heart remains to be
clean
It will never fall apart
Though I feel like I've
been through hell and back
I have so much to say
It can never be shared
though my poetry

MY DAYS ON THE CRUISE
E mRHello to one and all for those who are following my blog
I'm so sorry been so long that I written
But it's about to me that I've come for this moment
As of now I am my cruise to Grand caymen
Today is the first whole day that've I been on a cruise ship
There was so much to do
I don't know where to begin
It's been a long day at Sea
There was so much to see
The best thing about it
I had I could eat
My. First meal was
That of a duck
Ive been eating to taste them
Since they have been on my back yard
The boat never rocked
I awaited for more to eat exotic food
The next meal I. Had crawling seared snapper
It was a good thing they never did snap
I guess they were trained
Before being put for a snack
This meal was so delicious
I loved to to eat this seared snapper
I never got sick
I'm so anxious to try more
As this vacation prevails
I will keep you informed how this cruise entertains me

Disney WONDER CRUISE
I've been saving all my money
To take my mom on this cruise
Wow, this vacation is approaching
Only five days to go
I'm ping this for Mom
I must admit it's for me too
I'm excited to jump on the boat
From what I have checked out
It's not just for kids There is much to do for adults
To drink is not my favor
I am here to have fun
So the best I can enjoy it
Is not to be drunk
As to my surprise
There is a singles night on the boat
For me to meets girls from Ann Abor
Now this is no joke
This trip may just be the one
I can meet that special girl
We could look in each other's eyes
That could just change my world
Now what am I thinking
I am not here just for that
This vacation is for Mom
It's not just for,me

Forgiveness
The Fear of Letting Go
The fear of contacting my friend
Who is the owner of my injury
I'm afraid the words I wish to say
Could possibly ruin my plan
I'm choosing to Be aggressive
But what could that do for me
After all is said and done for
I would still feel the pain and agony
And hold on to anger
Would never prove to gain
I had once I felt was lost
My heart is not forsaken
Therefore I hope and pray the best for him
That this will not affect him

DON'T EVER LET GO
Here I'm back again.
Sorry it's been so long
Nothing new has been going on
It's been S.O.S. everyday
It seems to be boring
It's not changing MY way
Maybe I'm still asking too much
Or maybe I feel that I am losing my touch
Even though it's different
Everyday that I live
They seem all the same
With the effort I give
I'm trying so hard
To be the best I can be
But as so far this does nothing for me
What can I do to make any changes
Yet what can I do
To tie my own shoe laces
I know that I am able
To take care of myself
But I am not given the chance
To put on my own belt
I feel I'm losing control
Is it me or myself?
Maybe I'm just giving up
I'm losing my mind
I might fall off the shelf
What can I do
If I were to fall
I would lose all my chances
That I have given myself
I will never lose grip
Of the future I have
For I believe I am so strong
You need to understand that I will never let go.

The Cruise
This year I'm planning
To take my mom on a cruise
I want her to enjoy it
Since she is young and able to
This is a birthday gift
It's the best I can do
After she has done everything for me
I could never repay
All that she's done for me
But this cruise I have planned
I'm trying the best that I can
She has so much to offer
I could not match all she has given
I would like to make her feel
As though she's died and gone to heaven
From what I have heard
This is a once in a lifetime experience
I hope she can realize
That my gift will help her feel more alive
I'm hoping she will enjoy this
All this gift has to offer
To take my mom on a cruise
I want her to enjoy it
Since she is young and able to
This is a birthday gift
It's the best I can do

But this cruise I have planned
I'm trying the best that I can

I would like to make her feel
As though she's died and gone to heaven

This is a once in a lifetime experience
I hope she can realize
That my gift will help her feel more alive
I'm hoping she will enjoy this
All this gift has to offer

Dans history of Dans love for musical performance
The Joys of Musical Performance
When I was Young, my mom encouraged me to start playing the piano,
I had no interest interest while I was so young. after seven years of playing. I started high school
And I decided to play the drums I thought it was cool to do so,
I started marching in the band. The first year I joined The band I started out playing the quads
After three years of this I started playing the snare drum and the drum line,
The first competition then placed first place
Throughout my years of practice and then decided to go to McDonald's to celebrate,
I jumped in the car of my best friend,
then proceeded to McDonald's to find this could just be the end.
As we turned in the McDonald's parking lot The car that I was in wasT-boned by another.
Since I was the passenger, I took most of the blow. This then put me in a coma,
After four weeks in a coma. I was then transferred to a rehabilitation hospital in Grand Rapids.
After three months of hard work I was able to walk out. No one could conceive what this was all about. Not many could believe that this is what happened to me.
I would not believe that I could do this. Now after 27 years I am still recovering. I was sure my talent for music was quickly gone. My ability to play the drums was not overcome.
I was so sad that I lost the rhythm. I would not let this stop me. I was determined to win. I decided to purchase an electronic drum set. I then found out that nothing was wrong.
I was so happy I did this. I could not believe though I could not play as I did, my rhythm was still in me. I was happy I did. Although it frustrated me at the time. I won't let it stop me. This freedom is mine.
It was so slow to play the drums. Since it had been so long I had just determined that it was gone. I thought I could never play again. Wow, what a victory. I will never let anything stop me.

My love for music
In my life, music still reaches deep inside my heart
What once I thought was gone
To my surprise it will not depart
The strength that I have
And the willingness to move
I was told my gift for music
Will forever improve
I could never give up
This satisfaction I once had
Has returned right back into my heart
I will never let anything
Leave as I pray
As my passion for music
Will never give way
It will forever be with me
For nothing can stop me
Until death do us part
It will forever be mine
What once I thought was gone
To my surprise it will not depart
The strength that I have
And the willingness to move
I was told my gift for music
Will forever improve
I could never give up
This satisfaction I once had
Has returned right back into my heart
I will never let anything
Leave as I pray
As my passion for music
Will never give way
It will forever be with me
For nothing can stop me
Until death do us part
It will forever be mine

Who cares
Who cares
Are there times when you feelno one cares
You feel hopeless and blind
As You look everywhere
When all of the sudden you receive a note in the mail
It's an invitation seemed to be so unreal unreal
But time it just took my appeal
I always tried to just hide and run far away
But this'll time I considered
"why not give it a try
As I entered this building
Everyone welcomed me in
I felt so disappointed that I waited so long
I could feel they all cared
I could felt that this where I belong
I was to find out
There was some who really cares about us all
I was told that he died
To cover all
,what an amazing thing to hear
That This takes care of our fall
I wanted to go back every week
As I am told how to loved
As I should love in return
This man that am told
They called Him Jesus
And we need to show love just as he showed
I learned He died for our sins
Which I knew nothing about
I thout I was a good person
But it's in His eyes we may not
There were yet 10 laws to follow
I then realized I was so shallow
I was then told not to worry
He took care of our guilt
Since he died on this cross
What a story his was
As I followed along
I tried not to hide
As this I was told
It's in he I should confide
He puts rest in our hearts
Which brings tears to my eyes
I could then feel his love
As I accepted him
He was willing to enter
As he would forgive allmy sins
What a wonder
Of thanks I should give
When on Easter I then learned
That if I would repent
Then I shall eternally live
I could only understand
That someday I would die
But if I was to believe
But since he was crucified
My soul it would not leave

The Winter of 2014
As January hit in the
winter of 2014
We made a record in all
history
The snow was afalling
The cold was upon us
We tried hard to stay warm
Although the temperatures
dropped so low
It was no surprise that we
had so much snow.
We had to keep watch of the
pipes in our house up in Michigan
They were not to freeze
And let water burst out
My mother was vacationing
With her son down in Texas
She had no idea
That her house up in
Michigan would be such a mess
But all she could do
Was wish for the best
There would be so much work
behind her
She never would know.
She needs to work with
insurance
About the best she can
That they will help make a
deal
Written just as a plan
Because she could not be
able
To deal with this
trauma
If it were to happen again.
It would be such a drama

My days. of suffering
As the days seem closer
After the injury that I suffered
My anger get stronger
As it is with me each day
Why must I hang on
I can't seem to let go
This question I ask
it seems has no answer
almost I live on
I pray to my God
That he can help take away
Maybe he's given me the answer
I need to listen every day
I know God answers prayers
I must trust and obey
And knowing he will be with me
I. I just need to Beadone on my knees and pray
After the injury that I suffered
My anger get stronger
As it is with me each day
Why must I hang on
I can't seem to let go
This question I ask
it seems has no answer
almost I live on
I pray to my God
That he can help take away
Maybe he's given me the answer
I need to listen every day
I know God answers prayers
I must trust and obey
And knowing he will be with me
I. I just need to Beadone on my knees and pray
