One day at a time

 One day at a time


Yesterday I laughed, today I cried,
tomorrow is still a mystery as to
what may lie ahead, all we know
for sure is that life begins, then it
ends, so worry not what might or
may not come, my friends, or whether
it is good, bad, even happy, or sad
so just remember that the days
will come and the nights will go,
but it comes with each morning
of the rising sun. That is something
we know, so let us close our eyes
take a deep breath then open
them and take a chance. Spin
that wheel or roll the dice, win on
seven loose on snake eyes pull
that arm plays some slots. Bet it
all on a long shot called it's your
life, the one thing you should
try to always remember is you
can never go back and you cannot
predict the future life is hard we
only live once, so make damn
sure that you lived it, so go ahead
dance with the devil and sleep
with your demons, then go to
church and pray for forgiveness
and always be kind to all you
meet always give hope and use
your strength never give up on
your dreams. Is it luck or is it
faith that keeps us moving forward
every day all I know is I have
one last piece of advice to give
that is no matter what decisions
that you make in your life, we
have only two places we can go
so just smile every single day
love everyone you can, read and
write poetry and take it one day
at a time.

When I close my eyes

When I Close my Eyes I might not be able to change the world and I might not be able to change your mind I might not be able to make you love me but I can dream about It when I close  my eyes late at night when I am living somewhere in my mind for  that is where  I go every chance  When I want to escape All the violence and the hate a place where you and I walk hand and hand Down the peaceful streets At night after our date A place that is filled with laughter and tears drinking margaritas on the beach with you while we are dancing in the rain where I always smile and I forget all the pain a place where peace has won the war and race matter not any more where we can all now dance out in the streets rich or poor now all live next door to door a place where the sun shines every day and there are no dark clouds anymore where there are no chains that bind us all a...

It has been 10 years since I wrote my first book.

  "A story of one man's epic love for his son who is not of his blood." One day I was woken up by a dream I think it was really a nightmare I was alone or so I thought, I was seeing shadows and I kept hearing voices whispering in my ear so I started listening and writing it down, I still do that today. That was ten years ago and with those words, I wrote my first book., The Battle Lost: Ryder's Birth, It was a whopping fifty-two pages each a separate piece of poetry with extremely bad grammar, misspelled words, and no punctuation I had a good friend go through it when I got it back there were so many red marks I flashed back to high school. It has been on Amazon's top ten Epic Poetry (Free) in the Kindle Store for ten years. Ryder is now eleven years old and doing awesome it really was an epic battle physically, mentally, and emotionally fought in Parker County, Texas. DNA does not matter if you love that child enough and I Proved that. Actually, Attorney Bethel T...

Happily ever after amen.

Happily ever after amen.  Every now and then you will meet someone that makes your heart begin to pound so hard that it feels as if it will break through your chest or crack a few ribs at best, as you can hear  your blood flowing through  your veins like a mighty river fed by the rains of angry massive wintkrms to the sea also making it hard to breathe as you start to feel the heat coming from somewhere down deep in your soul smoldering until you see her beautiful face then your heated passion takes control igniting a raging fire the is now burning out of control as it feels like it is two hundred fifty degrees and your boiling from the inside, as tears fall from your eyes as their sheer beauty is so bright it leaves you feeling blind, and when they look up and smile at you the oh so real feeling of panic hits you right in the face as you freeze up talking nothing but gibberish losing all concept of speech and losing control of your knees falling to the ground as if you w...
