An excerpt from
America Again
“Once upon a time, there was a country the whole world watched to see if it would fail
How it began was so different than other countries but this was not a fairytale
Brave families traveled into the great unknown just to be able to be free
From such humble beginnings this country would become the envy of all who could see” …..
An excerpt from
The Fathers That You See
….. “If a man does nothing with his life but gets one thing right
it’s to guide his young souls out of the world’s darkness and into the light
He might not have been famous but he was famous to me
Thank you to all the men who stuck around and are the Fathers that you see”
An excerpt from
Your 50-Foot World
….. “Make the world the one you see within 50 feet
Make it full of the things you cherish and make it complete
Open the doors for strangers and give someone a kind smile
Practice what you preach and then after awhile” …..
An excerpt from
Am I Enough?
….. “We have nothing to prove to them, we only have ourselves to live up to
We only need to change one set of eyes—the ones that we gaze through
I’m not saying it will be easy, in fact it may be quite tough
But you aren’t alone—we all sometimes wonder late at night… Am I Enough?”
